Method for holding a cable for a wind turbine

Abstract

A method for holding a cable in a wind turbine transition piece by a cable hang-off device, the method includes providing a cable hang-off device comprising a main body with a first flange, an opposed second flange and a through passage, a sealing sleeve with a sealing passage, at least one temporary clamp, located in the through passage, a clamping plate, and at least one solid sealing element, attaching the main body to the wind turbine transition piece with the first flange, attaching the sealing sleeve to the second flange, inserting the cable through the through passage and the sealing passage sleeve, clamping an outer serving of the cable with the at least one temporary clamp, pealing the outer serving of the cable to reveal armour wires of the cable, folding the armour wires over the second flange in a radially outward direction, with respect to a longitudinal direction of the cable hang-off device, inserting the clamping plate in the sealing passage, clamping the armour wires against the second flange, by the clamping plate, releasing the at least one temporary clamp from outside the main body to release a clamping force from the at least one temporary clamp, inserting the at least one solid sealing element in the sealing passage to at least partially surround one or more conductors of the cable, and sealing the sealing passage with the at least one solid sealing element.
