Abstract
A method for braking the thermal engine of an automobile using a multiple-phase rotary electric machine (1) connected to the thermal engine and including a stator and a rotor (4) having at least one excitation winding (41). A shortcut of at least one phase of the multiple-phase rotary machine is included during the stop phase of the thermal engine. The multiple-phase rotary electric machine is capable of braking the thermal engine of an automobile during the stop phase thereof due to the fact that a shortcut is induced, during the stop phase of the thermal engine, of at least one of the phases thereof.
