A turbomachine has an electric machine, and a starter-generator incorporating a second electric machine configured to operate as a starter and a generator. The electric machine and the generator-starter are arranged to transfer electric power between them. A planetary gear reduction device has a first element coupled to an accessory relay housing, a second element coupled to the starter-generator, a third element rotated by the electric machine, control means configured to modify the speed of rotation of the first electric machine and the starter-generator so as to provide the starter-generator with a maximum torque in starter mode. The planetary gear reduction device also modifies the speed of rotation of the first electric machine such that the starter-generator is driven at a constant speed in generator mode.
