Abstract Feedback control and failure detection for an electric control unit equipped with a brushless motor is now achieved with three independent, phase-related current sensors. However, these sensors obstruct the downsizing of the electric control unit. Therefore, we developed a new open-loop current control strategy by using a single current sensor achieving the equivalent control accuracy and failure detection capability. This control strategy enables the downsizing and weight reduction of electric control units.
