Systems and Methods for Optimizing Cable Size and Flexibility Using Inductive Power Couplings

A system and method for optimizing cable size and flexibility for a pool or spa installation is provided. The system includes an inductive power coupling having first and second power couplings. The inductive power coupling transforms a first voltage level provided by the cable to a second voltage level suitable for usage by the pool or spa component and compensates for a voltage loss associated with the cable allowing the cable to have a size and flexibility suitable for installation in a pipe or conduit. The first power coupling is in electrical communication with a power supply via a cable and the second power coupling is in electrical communication with a pool or spa component. The first power coupling inductively transmits received power from the power supply via the cable to the second power coupling. The second power coupling inductively transmits the received power to the pool or spa component.
