Abstract
A rotating electric machine including at least a first terminal and a second terminal, and an electric circuit connected to said two terminals, the electric circuit including a field winding. The rotating electric machine also includes a thermal protection device () arranged in the electric machine. The thermal protection device () includes a first electric conductor () electrically connected to the second terminal, and a heat-sensitive member () arranged so as to deform above a predetermined temperature, wherein, above a predetermined temperature, the deformation of the heat-sensitive member () actuates a connection means () of the thermal protection device in order to electrically connect the first conductor to a second conductor of the electric circuit having a different electric potential than that of the second terminal.
