1. An inductive power outlet for transmitting power to at least one inductive power receiver, said inductive power outlet comprising:

  • at least one primary inductor wired to a power supply, said primary inductor for forming an inductive couple with at least one secondary inductive coil associated with said inductive power receiver; and

    at least one driver configured to provide an oscillating voltage across said primary inductor; and

    said inductive power receiver comprising;

    said at least one secondary inductive coil ; and

    an output regulator operable to monitor induced voltage across said secondary inductive coil;

    to detect an activation voltage pulse;

    to compare said induced voltage with at least one threshold value;

    to send at least one instruction signal to the inductive power outlet; and

    to provide power to an electric load;

    wherein said inductive power outlet is operable to induce an activation voltage pulse across said secondary inductive coil of said inductive power receiver thereby initiating said inductive power receiver to send an identification signal to said inductive power outlet and to start drawing power therefrom.
