ABSTRACT:
A motorized power steering apparatus for a vehicle has a torque sensor which generates an output voltage proportional to a steering torque exerted by the driver of the vehicle. A motor controller controls the output torque of a drive motor which generates an auxiliary steering force corresponding to the output voltage of the torque sensor. A current limiter limits the motor current to a value which decreases as the temperature of the motor or the temperatures of power switching elements in the motor controller increases.
