An electrical power supply device () comprising a pole (), said pole () having a non-rotary casing () and a rotary casing () provided with fastener means () for fastening to a mast. The pole () includes a non-rotary converter () fastened to the non-rotary casing () and generating AC at a frequency higher than one kilohertz. The pole also includes a rotary transformer (), said rotary transformer () having a primary member () secured to the non-rotary casing () and a secondary member () secured to the rotary casing (), the primary member () being connected to the non-rotary converter () to receive said AC, and the secondary member () being suitable for electrically powering equipment () of a rotor ().

Electrical power supply device for powering at least one piece of equipment of an aircraft rotor, and an aircraft

An electrical power supply device () for electrically powering equipment on a rotary rotor () of an aircraft (), which rotor is driven by a shaft (), said device () comprising a removable stick (). The stick () includes an upper alternator () and an upper tube () secured to said shaft () so as to be constrained in rotation therewith, said upper alternator () having a plurality of upper coils () fastened to an upper inside peripheral surface (') of said upper tube (), said stick () having a rod () carrying an upper permanent magnet (), said device () having a mechanism () so that said rod () and said upper tube () move with distinct rotary movements, said mechanism () having connection means () so as to be connectable to a reference member () of an aircraft ().

Electrical power supply device for electrically powering at least one item of equipment on a rotary rotor of an aircraft, and an aircraft

The starting device for a turbine engine unit of a helicopter includes an electric motor starter, supplied from an electrical power source, which can be outside the helicopter and temporarily connected to the starting device through a connection socket, or onboard on the helicopter. The starter is supplied with alternating current and includes an alternating current electric motor, preferably an auto-controlled synchronous motor, and the onboard electrical power source is preferably an alternator driven, during independent starting, from an auxiliary power unit with a turbo-machine and itself started by direct current batteries.
