An electronically commutated brushless motor including a housing for accurately angularly aligning a position sensor relative to a position of a stator. The housing includes an integrally formed bridge for precisely situating the position sensor within the bridge, and a plurality of integrally formed locating ribs formed on an internal surface of a circumferential wall portion of the housing for precisely angularly situating the stator within the housing. Since the locating ribs and the bridge are all integrally formed on the housing, this eliminates the possibility of angular misalignment of the position sensor relative the stator during assembly of the motor.

The reference voltage is higher than a voltage required to trigger the logic gates and a voltage required to drive the load. This ensures that the load is driven adequately over a wide range of load currents and capacitances. By setting the reference voltage between the voltage required to drive the load and the supply voltage, the pulse width is not excessive. portion of said base assembly and pivoting of said upper portion with respect to said junction portion when said solar assembly is to be directed towards the sun and said turbine assembly is to be directed into the wind. 3.
