The present invention relates to a rotor blade (1) for a wind turbine (2), the rotor blade (1) comprising a first down conductor (6), extending from a tip section (3) to a root section (4), wherein the first down conductor (6) is electrically coupled with a root block (7) of the root section (4), wherein the root block (7) is electrically coupled with a second down conductor (8). The second down connector (8) is electrically coupled with a current distribution plate (9), wherein the current distribution plate (9) is attached to a fixation device (10) for fixing the rotor blade (1) to a first bearing ring (11a) of a bearing (11) of a hub (12). The invention also relates to a wind turbine (2) and to a method for assembling a rotor blade (1) to a hub (12) of a wind turbine (2) and establishing a conductive path between a first down connector (6) of the rotor blade (1) and the hub (12).
Rotor blade (1) for a wind turbine (2), the rotor blade (1) comprising a tip section (3), a root section (4) and an intermediate section (5) between the tip section (3) and the root section (4), wherein the rotor blade (1) further comprises a first down conductor (6), extending from the tip section (3) to the root section (4), wherein the first down conductor (6) is electrically coupled with a root block (7) of the root section (4), wherein the root block (7) is electrically coupled with a second down connector (8), wherein the second down connector (8) is electrically coupled with a current distribution plate (9), wherein the current distribution plate (9) is attached to a fixation device (10) for fixing the rotor blade (1) to a first bearing ring (11a) of a bearing (11) of a hub (12), wherein the current distribution plate (9) is attached to a plurality of barrel nuts (10a) of the fixation device (10), wherein the barrel nuts (10a) are disposed in two different barrel nut rings (13) of the rotor blade (1).
Rotor blade (1) for a wind turbine (2), the rotor blade (1) comprising a tip section (3), a root section (4) and an intermediate section (5) between the tip section (3) and the root section (4), wherein the rotor blade (1) further comprises a first down conductor (6), extending from the tip section (3) to the root section (4), wherein the first down conductor (6) is electrically coupled with a root block (7) of the root section (4), wherein the root block (7) is electrically coupled with a second down connector (8) disposed in an inner chamber 24 of the rotor blade,
