The steering power assist control comprises a main assist control and an auxiliary assist control. When an abnormality occurrence signal from the main assist control is inputted to an abnormality state detection and changing decision circuit 134, the selector circuit changes the PWM signal from the main assist control side to the auxiliary assist control side and outputs the PWM signal to a motor drive circuit. When the main assist control fails, the auxiliary assist control immediately takes over the main assist control to provide, if the operation condition permits, a continued steering power assist control. This prevents an abnormal steering state of the vehicle that would otherwise result when the steering power assist is suddenly lost.

A power switching apparatus for use in the control of a D.C. load such as a D.C. motor comprises a power transistor with its emitter-collector path connected in series with the D.C. motor and a battery. A base current of the power transistor is supplied from the battery through a controllable impedance element. A control unit is provided to vary the impedance of the controllable impedance element in response to the current flowing through the emitter-collector path in such a manner that the base current changes as substantially the inverse-function of a characteristic curve indicating a D.C. amplification factor versus collector current of the power switch transistor.

A control device for an electric generator for use with a vehicle engine includes an armature winding (stator) and a field winding (rotor) driven by the vehicle engine. A chopper is provided for controlling the field current of the field winding and a pulse width modulator is provided for controlling the duty cycle of the chopper in response to the operating conditions of the engine. A voltage feedback loop is provided from a normally provided battery which loop incorporates a detector for detecting the actual battery voltage and a comparator for comparing the battery voltage with a predetermined set voltage so that the difference in voltage is rendered to zero. The invention additionally provides a current feedback loop for controlling a deviation between a current command value determining the duty of the chopper and an actual current flowing through the field winding so as to be substantially zero. There is also disclosed means for adaptively modifying the current command signal and means for controlling the current demanded by the field winding to reduce the torque demanded by the generator at times, inter alia, of acceleration and engine knocking.

A control circuit for controlling supply of current for electric motor has a chopper circuit connected with a battery in series. The chopper circuit is constructed with such as power transistors or power thyristors, and the ON-OFF operation thereof is controlled by a driving pulse. A command signal is produced at a movable tap of a potentiometer, across which a D-C control voltage from the battery is applied. In order to determine the duty and the control frequency of the chopper circuit, a duty controlling oscillator circuit is provided, which generates an output signal on the basis of the command signal from the potentiometer. The duty controlling oscillator circuit includes an integrator composed of an operational amplifier having a negative feedback of a condenser, to the -input terminal of which the command signal is applied. Another operational amplifier having a positive feedback of a resistor operates as a hysteresis comparator, to the +input terminal of which is applied the output from the integrator and to the -one of which a divided reference of the D-C control voltage. In response to the output signal from the hysteresis comparator, a driving pulse generator produces a driving pulse to the chopper circuit.
