A thrust reverser device for an aircraft includes at least two thrust reversers, and each of them includes a movable cowl movably actuated by an actuator driven by an electric motor. The electric motor is powered by a single power-conversion module including at least one autotransformer which is supplied with an alternating electric voltage and connected to at least one rectifier stage converting the alternating electric voltage into a direct voltage. The rectifier stage is connected to a current balancing stage and a current smoothing stage, supplying with the direct voltage the electric motor of the electric actuator of the movable cowl.

METHOD FOR BRAKING AN AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE

Method for braking an aircraft turbine engine including a fan or a propeller connected to a turbine by a shaft and an electric generator connected to the shaft, the method comprising the following steps: a request to brake the turbine engine by thrust reversal; a calculation of a turbine braking setpoint by a control system; and in response to the braking setpoint, an adjustment by the control system of a resistance of a dissipative load to draw electric power from the electric generator to the dissipative load.
