Wind turbine having a yaw system that comprises an annular gear, a plurality of motors, and a gear system having a gearbox and a pinion for each of the motors. Each of the gear systems is arranged to transmit a torque from the related motor to the annular gear. Moreover, at least one of the gear systems comprises a rotatable component having a frangible joint between a first part and a second part of the gear system. This joint is adapted to be broken once, during operation, the first part receives a torque from the annular gear that is greater by a predetermined amount than a torque received from the second part, said breaking of the joint causing the first part to be dragged by the annular gear independently from the second part. |
