The present invention provides an electricity generator for a lighting tower having a plurality of discharge lamps, each lamp being of power greater than 750 W, the generator being arranged to be driven by an engine, the generator being a multiphase generator having n phases, where n is an even integer, each phase being independent in a magnetic circuit that is common to all of the phases and being configured to power one lamp, the generator comprising a rotor with permanent magnets, having 3 n poles, and a stator concentric with the rotor and subjected to the radial magnetic flux from the magnets, the stator comprising a stack of laminations of silicon iron having a silicon content greater than 0.5% and of individual thickness greater than 0.35 mm, defining 4 n magnetic circuit teeth, with every other tooth carrying a winding.

An electrotechnical regulating device for asynchronous rotating machines comprises capacitors in series with the windings of the asynchronous motor. In order to regulate the speed of rotation of an asynchronous motor, the device further comprises a variable-impedance short-circuiter connected in parallel between at least one of the windings and the associated capacitor or capacitors. The device serves to modify the torque of an asynchronous motor supplied at a variable frequency and at a fixed voltage, in order to control the speed of an asynchronous motor which is supplied at fixed or variable frequency or in order to regulate the voltage of an induction generator which rotates at a fixed or variable speed.
