SHOCK SENSOR FOR WIND TURBINE GENERATOR

摘要

A vibration sensor (5) mountable to a wind turbine generator for detecting excessive vibration of the wind turbine generator, the sensor comprising a pendulum having a pendulum bob (25) of pre-determined mass coupled to a detection switch (10), the detection switch arranged to detect oscillation of the pendulum exceeding a predetermined oscillation threshold; said pendulum bob selectively adjustable along said pendulum so as to vary the oscillation threshold of said sensor; wherein the sensor is arranged to exceed the oscillation threshold on receiving a forced vibration corresponding to a vibration threshold of the wind turbine generator.
