1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The EPS_AC equipment consists of the following parts:

1.1 STEERING SERVO MOTOR CONTROL UNIT

It consists of a control unit using the logic marked ADCZPA0D which operates the AC
motor for both manual and automatic centering steering. There are three different
control units available:
1) A 24/36Vbatt unit provides a maximum current of 70Amps.

2) A 48Vbatt unit provides a maximum current of 70Amps.

3) A 48/80Vbatt unit provides a maximum current of 50Amps.
