Abstract:
In an electric power steering apparatus, a motor housing includes an axial end part opposite to an output part of an electric motor. An electronic control section is arranged at the axial end part of the motor housing. The electronic control section includes a control circuit part, a power supply circuit part, and a power conversion circuit part. The axial end part of the motor housing includes a power conversion part thermal radiation region and a power supply part thermal radiation region. The power conversion circuit part is mounted to the power conversion part thermal radiation region to allow heat to be transferred from the power conversion circuit part to the motor housing. The power supply circuit part is mounted to the power supply part thermal radiation region to allow heat to be transferred from the power supply circuit part to the motor housing.
