A power supply system is provided, having: a primary side coil; a power
transmission apparatus having a primary side circuit for feeding a pulse
voltage resulted from switching a DC voltage which is obtained by
rectifying and smoothing a commercial power supply to the primary side
coil; a secondary side coil magnetically coupled to the primary side
coil; and power reception equipment having a secondary side circuit for
rectifying and smoothing voltage induced across the secondary side coil,
wherein there is provided a power adjusting section for adjusting a level
of power to be transmitted according to power required by the power
reception equipment. The power adjusting section has, in the primary side
circuit, a carrier wave oscillation circuit for supplying a carrier wave
to the primary side coil, a demodulation circuit for demodulating a
modulated signal transmitted from the secondary circuit and received by
the primary side coil, and a power change-over section for selecting a
level of power to be transmitted according to an information signal from
the power reception equipment and demodulated by the demodulation
circuit. The power adjusting section has, in the secondary side circuit,
a modulation circuit for modulating the carrier wave fed from the carrier
wave oscillation circuit and received by the secondary side coil with the
information signal from the power reception equipment and transmitting
the modulated signal.
