Electro-hydraulic power steering question

My car has a strange electro-hydraulic hybrid power steering set-up. Would this mean that the electric motor is constantly running like hydraulic power steering set-ups or would the motor only run when the wheel is turned like all-electric set-ups? I'm guessing its running all the time as it makes more sense. If so I'll try pulling the power steering fuse. Just want to see more informed people's thoughts first before doing owt.
