Apparatus for stabilizing an electric active suspension system upon interruption of the power supply

摘要

An apparatus for stabilizing an active suspension system of an automotive vehicle is provided having a power source and a motor with a plurality of stator wires connected to the suspension unit for controlling the movement of the suspension. A controller is electrically connected to the motor and to the power source for developing current commands for input into the motor through the stator wires. The switch, electrically connected to the stator wires and the power source, connects the stator wires together in response to an interruption of the power source so that a high torque is developed in the motor for restraining the movement of the suspension unit.
