Abstract: The motor drive control apparatus includes first and second rotation information detection function units and a power control unit. When it is determined the ignition switch is changed from the ON state to the OFF state, the power control unit intermittently supplies power from a battery to the first and second rotation information detection function units at a first interval while a motor rotation number is lower than a preset rotation number set in advance. When it is determined the motor rotation number becomes equal to or higher than the preset rotation number during this intermittent supply state, the power control unit intermittently supplies the power from the battery to the first and second rotation information detection function units at a second interval shorter than the first interval while the motor rotation number is equal to or higher than the preset rotation number.

Abstract: A steering system clatter mitigation apparatus and method. The clatter mitigation apparatus excites the steering system at a frequency within a range of an existing engine noise. The excitation of the steering system at a different frequency than the clatter sound greatly reduces the clatter sound. The sound produced by the excitation of the steering system is masked by the existing sound of the engine.

Abstract: A motor control circuit includes a power relay, a converter division, a smoothing condenser, a control circuit and a motor drive circuit, and is connected to a battery as high voltage power and to an electrical motor. The battery is connected with a driving battery having the high voltage such as 288V etc. A step down circuit reduces the high voltage to a low voltage such as 36V etc., charges a low voltage charge device and supplies drive power to the motor drive circuit. When the vehicle collision is occurred, the control circuit detects the collision by a value of detected acceleration, a power change relay is turned on to change to the power source from the low voltage charge device after voltage of the smoothing condenser is reduced, thereby connecting the low voltage to the motor drive circuit.
