Abstract: In an electric rotating machine apparatus according to the present disclosure, noise-removal capability is secured by adopting a structure in which an external terminal is connected with a protruding portion, of a control circuit board in a control unit, that protrudes from a through hole of an electromagnetic shield and in which a filter unit is provided. Because a conventional dedicated wiring board for mounting the filter unit thereon is not required, the foregoing structure can contribute to downsizing and cost reduction. In addition, the foregoing structure can contribute to downsizing and cost reduction of an electric power steering apparatus equipped with the electric rotating machine apparatus according to the present disclosure.
