An AC generator comprises a rotor and a stator having a three-phase winding. A three-phase inverter is connected to the three-phase winding. Here, the three-phase winding comprises at least two independent three-phase windings. Switching elements for respective phases of the three-phase inverter are connected in parallel by the number of the independent three-phase windings, and in-phase windings are individually connected to their parallel switching elements.
