Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a three-phase inverter (3) using a 120° control arrangement associated with a PWM-type control, the inverter (3) being driven by a controller and configured to power a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (5) of a device on board an aircraft. The motor (5) comprises a stator and a rotor that can be rotated relative to the stator when the motor (5) is powered. The inverter (3) comprises three branches (31, 32, 33), each branch comprising two switches (310, 311, 320, 321 and 330, 331) associated with a motor winding sing a 120° control arrangement of a three-phase inverter. The method is characterised in that when one switch on one branch is controlled such as to switch front the on-state to the off-state, the other switch on said branch is controlled such as to be in the on-state for a sufficient amount of time to allow the magnetic discharge of the motor winding associated with said branch.
