Patent

CA 2488515

The invention relates to means capable of avoiding electrical current, which is being induced in the blades of a wind turbine, from being passed on to parts of the wind turbine that may be damaged or even destroyed by the electrical current. The invention benefits from the fact that the electrical current is passed along by means of electrical conductors extending from the blades and to a stationary part of the wind turbine in relation the flange of the wind turbine for mounting the hub of the wind turbine to the main shaft of the wind turbine, and where the electrical conductors lead either through or past the mounting flange of the wind turbine.

L'invention concerne des moyens permettant d'éviter que le courant électrique, induit dans les pales d'une éolienne, soit transmis à des parties de cette éolienne pouvant être endommagées ou même détruites par ce courant électrique. Cette invention prend avantage du fait que le courant électrique est transmis au moyen de conducteurs électriques s'étendant des pales à une partie stationnaire de l'éolienne par rapport à la bride de l'éolienne destinée à fixer le moyeu de l'éolienne sur l'axe principal de l'éolienne, ces conducteurs électriques passant soit à travers soit devant la bride de fixation de l'éolienne.
