Abstract

See full text

A foreign matter detection device including a detection coil between a power transmitting coil and a power receiving coil, and a detection unit detecting an induced voltage V generated in the detection coil and detects, from this induced voltage, presence or absence of a conductive foreign matter between the power transmitting coil and the power receiving coil. The detection coil includes a continuous conductive wire where two loop portions are wound in mutually opposite directions. An area or a winding number of each loop portion or a direction connecting centroids of the two loop portions is set so that the induced voltage (i.e., a reference voltage) generated in the detection coil when no conductive foreign matters exist becomes 0 or a minimum.
