Abstract: A wind turbine has a suspension and holders for such suspensions. Elongated members such as electrical power cables can be suspended from the nacelle of a wind turbine and down through the tower of the wind turbine. The suspension utilizes either a high friction between an inner rod and outer plates to hold the member by ensuring that the length of the inner rod and the supporting plates is at least four times the diameter of the members or a more mechanical holding of the members by providing beads in clamping portions constituting the suspension.
