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 conductor (8),
