A power distribution device between an electric starter of a turbomachine and an electric machine toward a shaft of the turbomachine, including the electric starter, the electric machine, and a controller for controlling the electric machine. An epicyclic train reducer includes a first element intended to be coupled to the shaft, a second element coupled to the electric starter, and a third element intended to be rotated by the electric machine. The controller is configured to rotate the third of the three elements so as to obtain two bearings of reduction ratios of the speeds between the first of said three elements and the second of the three elements. The controller is configured to drive the torque of the third of the three elements in accordance with a determined output torque.
