Original Abstract Submitted
A command system of an aircraft mobile element actuated by a motor is provided. The command system is electrically connected to a power supply, to the motor and to a current consuming device used to effect de-icing. The system establishes a connection between the motor and the current consuming device and inhibits a first connection between the power supply and the motor and a second connection between the power supply and the current consuming device when a braking command is received. The system enables the first connection and the second connection to be established and inhibits the third connection as long as no braking command has been received or when a command to stop braking is received. Thus the mobile element can be easily braked and the overall size of the system is limited.
