Patent number: 9920739Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for securing a lightning protection cable (e.g. a conductor) of a lightning protection system within a wind turbine rotor blade. The lightning protection system includes a plurality of lightning receptors configured along either or both of the pressure or suction sides of the rotor blade. The lightning receptors are connected via the conductor so as to form a conductive circuit. Further, a cover assembly defining a passageway therethrough is configured to receive at least a portion of the conductor along a length thereof. Thus, the cover assembly can be secured to an inner surface of the internal cavity so as to maintain a location of the conductor. Accordingly, the conductor is free to move within the cover assembly since the wire is not directly attached to the rotor blade.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Afroz Akhtar, Venkateswara Rao Kavala, Parnasree Maiti
