Spacer for wind turbine cables

A wind turbine, comprising:

• a tower secured to a support surface, the tower comprising at least one platform configured therein;
• a nacelle configured atop the tower;
• a plurality of cables configured within the tower and nacelle;
• and,
• a cable securement assembly configured to secure the cables within the tower, the cable securement assembly comprising:
• a cable spacer comprising an inner surface and an outer surface separated by a thickness, the inner surface defining an open center configured to receive the plurality of cables therein, the inner surface defining a plurality of cable locations defined by one or more through holes configured through the thickness, and
• one or more fastening components configured to secure one or more of the plurality of cables at each cable location via the through holes, wherein each of the plurality of fastening components extends around the one or more of the plurality of cables at the cable locations through adjacent through holes and around a portion of the outer surface of the cable spacer.

A method for protecting a plurality of cables within a wind turbine, the method comprising:

• securing one or more of the plurality of cables within a first segment of a cable spacer at a plurality of cable locations via a plurality of fastening components;
• securing one or more of the plurality of cables within a second segment of the cable spacer at a plurality of cable locations via a plurality of fastening components, wherein each of the plurality of fastening components extends around the one or more of the plurality of cables at the cable locations of each of the first and second segments through adjacent through holes extending through a wall thickness of the cable spacer and around a portion of an outer surface of the cable spacer;
• and,
• securing the first and second segments together, wherein the cable spacer is configured to space apart and protect the plurality of cables therein.
