End of Warranty inspections of wind turbines have revealed high incidences of tower cable nonconformities. These issues are generally due to a known poor wind drip loop design that results in the abrasion of the tower cable insulation. These issues can lead to turbine faults, fire, and technician injuries; leading to turbine downtime and high repair costs.
