    Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus that drive-controls a motor by an inverter, and a motor release-switch is connected between the inverter and the motor, comprising: a control section to detect an assist state on a driving control system and to ON/OFF-switch a control of the inverter based on a detection result; a motor rotational number detecting section to detect a rotational number of the motor; an energy calculating section to calculate an energy of a motor back-EMF and a regenerative current based on the rotational number; and a judging section to compare the energy with an area of safety operation of the motor release-switch and to OFF-switch the d motor release-switch when the energy becomes within the area of safety operation. As occasion demands, the area of safety operation is calculated with the temperature.

    Abstract: A motor control unit that is connected to a motor release switch which includes FETs and is disposed between an inverter and a motor, including: a control section to detect an assist state of the inverter, to turn-ON or turn-OFF a control of the inverter based on a detection result and to detect whether abnormality is existed or not; a motor rotational speed detecting section to detect a motor rotational speed; an energy calculating section to calculate an energy based on the motor rotational speed; a judging section to turn-OFF all of the FETs of the motor release switch when the energy is within an area of safety operation; and a state detecting section to detect whether abnormality is existed or not based on information from an abnormality detecting section that detects abnormality of the sensors and the inverter, wherein the control section turns-ON the control of the inverter when the state detecting section does not detect abnormality and turns-OFF the control of the inverter when the state detecting section detects abnormality.
