In this article, a 2.5m five-stage inductive power transfer (IPT) system based on domino cylindrical solenoid coupler (CSC) compensated, respectively, in layers is proposed. The system is considered to be used as 220 kV post insulators application, transferring power for sensors and measuring instruments of smart grids. The distributed series compensation method is applied to double-layer CSC. Compared with the two types of parallel schemes, this method can significantly reduce the current of the main circuit. Compared with the concentrated series compensation method, this method can effectively reduce the resistance caused by the stray capacitance. The interaction between the post insulator and the magnetic coupling structure is analyzed. The circuit model of the system with constant voltage output characteristics is analyzed. A prototype with a maximum efficiency of 66.7% is built. When the power is transferred to a larger value of 77.8W, the efficiency can still reach 62%. Comparing with previous works, the wireless distance is extended while the efficiency is improved.
