ELECTRICAL GENERATION AND CONTROL DEVICE

An electric generation and control device, which comprises an inductor and an armature provided with a double three-phase winding. Each phase of the armature consists of a generation winding and of a smoothing and control winding, which is electrically in series relationship with the generation winding and both electrically and mechanically phase shifted in advance with respect thereto. The smoothing and control winding is formed by at least two turns in series as wound on two columns of at least a closed saturable core identified in the armature magnetic stack, the columns having such a cross-section and arrangement as to be cyclically saturable and unsaturable by the inductor flux. The spirals wound on the columns have such directions as to produce mutually additive fluxes, which are the one additive and the other subtractive with respect to the inductor flux. The saturable cores of contiguous phases are magnetically coupled to each other by bridges of magnetic material arranged so as to connect the cores mutually in parallel with respect to the inductor flux during the saturation of the same cores by the inductor flux.
