Lightning protection system for a wind turbine and method for protecting components of a wind turbine against lightning strikes

摘要

A lightning protection system for a wind turbine (1) is described. It comprises at least one insulated high-voltage cable (12a), a pick-up unit (14) and an additional insulated high-voltage cable (12b). The at least one insulated high-voltage cable (12a) is electrically connected to a lightning receptor and to the pick-up unit (14). The pick-up unit (14) is electrically connectable to an electrically grounded member (5, 6) by means of the additional insulated high-voltage cable (12b).
