Abstract

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for a wireless energy-transferring coupling by means of an alternating magnetic field, having a coil circuit with at least one electronic coil for providing the wireless energy-transferring coupling with an external coil circuit and a converter which can be connected to an electrical energy source and/or an electrical energy sink for supplying the coil circuit with electrical energy from the electrical energy source or for conducting away electrical energy from the coil circuit to the electrical energy sink, wherein the coil circuit is connected to the converter. With the invention, it is proposed that a winding of the electronic coil is dimensioned, with regard to the geometry and winding count thereof, such that a broadest possible range can be achieved for a compensation.
