Abstract
An arrangement (1) of electrical conductors (2, 2′, . . . ) for inducing an alternating current (3) which flows through this conductor arrangement (1), by means of a magnetic alternating field (4) which acts on this conductor arrangement, is used to charge a battery (5) of a vehicle (6) using the alternating current (3) which flows through the conductor arrangement (1). This conductor arrangement (1) is not connected to electrical conductors (8, 8′, . . . ) outside this conductor arrangement (1) via a low-impedance

13. An arrangement of electrical conductors, comprising:
-
a first electrical conductor; and a second electrical conductor, a magnetic alternating field acting on the first and second electrical conductors inducing an alternating current that flows through the arrangement of electrical conductors for charging a vehicle battery, and the first and second electrical conductors being connected to electrical conductors outside of the arrangement via a low-impedance connection. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a conductor arrangement including; a first electrical conductor; and a second electrical conductor, a magnetic alternating field acting on the first and second electrical conductors inducing an alternating current that flows through the conductor arrangement for charging a vehicle battery, and the first and second electrical conductors not being connected to electrical conductors outside of the conductor arrangement via a low-impedance connection; a protective conductor connected to a ground; and an electrically conductive component, outside of the conductor arrangement, connected to the ground via a low-impedance connection to the protective conductor. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of charging a battery of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
causing a magnetic alternating field to act on a conductor arrangement of a vehicle for inducing an alternating current in the conductor arrangement; and continuously monitoring, via a detection device, for an absence of a low-impedance connection between the conductor arrangement and an electrical conductor outside of the conductor arrangement while the battery is charging. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)
