  • Lightning transmission device between the rotor and the nacelle in a wind turbine
    Patent number: 10746161
    Abstract: A lightning transmission device between the rotor and the nacelle in a wind turbine, which comprises: a first electricity conductor platen, where one of its ends is separated at a distance with respect to a metal strip located at a root of each blade; a second electricity conductor platen, where one of the ends is separated a distance with respect to a gutter element; an electrical conductor between the first and second platen; an electrical insulator coupled to said first and second platens; which is also coupled to the hub of the wind turbine; and a relative displacement unit between the first and second platen, the unit configured to ensure a predefined distance between the end of the first platen and the metal strip; and between the end of the second platen and the gutter element.
