An electro-hydraulic brake (EHB) system including a pump to pump and discharge oil in a reservoir, an accumulator to temporarily store the oil discharged from the pump, inlet valves to deliver the oil stored in the accumulator into the respective wheel cylinders, a return flow path connecting the wheel cylinders to the reservoir, outlet valves provided on the return flow path and adapted to discharge the oil from the wheel cylinders to the reservoir, cut-off valves to open and close flow paths between the wheel cylinders and an exit of a master cylinder, and a simulator. The simulator includes a first chamber communicating with the exit of the master cylinder, a second chamber connected to an entrance of the pump, and a simulator valve. The simulator having the above described configuration is able to prevent deterioration in the reliability and durability of the EHB system and to reduce the installation space of the master cylinder.
