The disclosure features systems for wireless power transfer that include a resonator featuring a coil with at least two windings and at least one inductor having an inductance value, where the at least one inductor is connected in series to at least one of the windings, and where the inductance value is selected so that when the coil carries a current during operation of the system, the at least one inductor maintains a distribution of current flows among the at least two windings such that for each of the at least two windings, an actual current flow in the winding differs from a target current flow for the winding by 10% or less.
