Another embodiment provides a non-contact power transfer system including a power transmitter device and a power receiver device configured to be coupled in a power transfer relationship with the power transmitter device. The power transmitter device includes a sealed housing provided at least partially within a surface, and a transmitter coil within the sealed housing. The power transmitter device also includes a transmitter control unit coupled to the transmitter coil, a transmitter transceiver, and a transmitter electronic processor coupled to the transmitter control unit and the transceiver. The power receiver device includes a second sealed housing provided at least partially within an electrical appliance, and a receiver coil within the sealed housing. The transmitter coil is configured to inductively transfer power to the receiver coil. The power receiver device also includes a power conversion unit coupled to the receiver coil, a receiver transceiver, and a receiver electronic processor coupled to the power conversion unit and the receiver transceiver.
