As a new type of urban rail transit tram, wireless charging tram uses high frequency electromagnetic field to conduct inductive power transmission, which gets rid of the traditional overhead catenary network, but inevitably causes electromagnetic radiation to the surrounding environment. Research shows that excessive electromagnetic radiation will affect the normal operation of equipment and the safety of human body. This paper analyzes the structure and coil configuration of the dynamic charging system for wireless charging tram. Aiming at the problem of electromagnetic radiation, a mathematical model with minimum electromagnetic radiation as the target and system parameters as the constraint condition is established. Finally, the system parameters of the electromagnetic coupling mechanism of the wireless charging tram are designed and optimized. The simulation and experimental results show that the method can meet the operating requirements of the system and reduce the electromagnetic radiation to the surrounding environment.
