1. An inductive power transfer receiver for receiving power to provide to a load, the inductive power transfer receiver comprising:
a receiving coil,
a tuned circuit comprising the receiving coil, and
a transformer sub-circuit connected to the tuned circuit, the transformer sub-circuit comprising a transformer primary side and a transformer secondary side,
wherein in use, when the inductive power transfer receiver provides received power to the load:
the transformer sub-circuit connects the receiving coil to the load, and
the transformer sub-circuit achieves one or more of:
reducing current in the receiving coil,
improving power factor, and
improving stability in the tuned circuit;
wherein the transformer sub-circuit comprises one transformer, comprising a transformer primary coil and a secondary coil; and
wherein the transformer sub-circuit comprises at least one additional transformer, each of the at least one additional transformer comprising a transformer primary coil and a transformer secondary coil.
