Abstract
The present invention relates to the monitoring of an intermediate space, in particular the air gap, between a transmitting coil and a receiving coil during inductive energy transmission. Said intermediate space is monitored by means of an optical monitoring device. By means of optical monitoring of the air gap between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil, the entry of an object can be reliably detected without the magnetic field of the inductive energy transmission being influenced.
