Abstract

Control device for a multiphase electric motor (M) comprising firstly two two-directional static switches (IS1, IS2) each associated with a terminal of a shunt contactor (S) installed in parallel, these switches (IS1, IS2, S) being controlled by a control circuit (C) controlling progressive operation of the motor, characterized in that the shunt contactor (S) is of the four-pole type and is fitted with solid connection parts (6, 7) each connecting two terminals of the said contactor, these connection parts (6, 7) being connected in pairs (L1, L3) to the terminals of the static switches (IS1, IS2) such that each (IS1 or IS2) is connected to two terminals.
