Abstract
A lightning rod for blades of a wind turbine generator is attached to a corresponding blade, includes an exterior electrode of electric conductive material and mechanically resistant, preferably aluminium, separated by one or several isolating disks from an interior electrode, is connected through a mechanical or electric connector and the appropriate electric conductor to a conductor of the ground circuit, and is equipped with an LED battery and a probe for vibration control at the blade.
Claims20
