Abstract
An electric power steering apparatus () comprises a control device (), which controls driving of an electric motor () based on the detection signals from a rotational position-detecting sensor (A), which detects the rotational position of the rotor () of the electric motor (), and a steering status detecting sensor (A). The control device () is housed in a housing () that is partitioned by a first housing (), which is at least a portion of the motor housing () for the electric motor (), and a second housing (A;B) that touches the first housing (). At least one of the rotational position-detecting sensor (A) and steering state detecting sensor (A) is connected to the control device () by means of only a signal wire () inside the first housing () or the second housing (A;B).
