The circuit diagrams of the WT are stored in the top box or bottom box.
Labeling
■ Label power cables and control cables in accordance with the cable list and the
circuit diagram
Note: Labels must be attached to each cable end; approx. 50cm before the
gland or the cable inlet.
The labeling material is in the bottom box, panel 1
Power and ground cables

■ Only fit cable lugs in accordance with DIN 46235 or compression joints in
accordance with DIN 46267 to power and ground cables
■ For crimping only use the appropriate tool inserts in accordance with DIN 46267
Compressed cables
If compressed cables are used (e.g. NYY >50mm2), special sleeves must be used.
These sleeves are moved over the compressed cable and then crimped together in
the cable lug or compression joint.
This sleeve ensures an adequate filling volume in the cable lug.
Notes Turbine Class K08 Page 153 of 170

Use the same crimping tool.
Small parts
Optic fibre cables, cable lugs and other small parts for the electrical installation are
delivered to the site on separate pallets.
9.2 Connecting the cables in the rotor hub

Most cable connections have already been assembled by the manufacturer. The
cable connections to the slip ring must still be made.
NOTE
The lighting in the rotor hub is only activated during commissioning.
Take along additional lighting into the rotor hub!
The battery disconnector switches are only switched on during commissioning.
NOTICE
To secure the connectors always use the screws fitted to them.
All seals must be provided in the screws.

■ Remove protective caps
■ Connect all plug connectors of the slip ring to the pitch box FU1
■ Secure connectors with screws
■ Unpack lamp and fit to the rotor shaft

9.3 Installing power and ground cables
NOTE
Lattice towers
The erection of the lattice towers is carried out exclusively by SeeBA
Energiesysteme GmbH. This company is also responsible for routing all the
cables in the tower and preparing the loop.
The technician for the WT erection only pick up the cables from the top platform
of the lattice tower or the cableway to the transformer station and then carry out
all subsequent work.
NOTICE
USE ORIGINAL SCREWS
The PG glands for the bottom box are too large for the cables used in the lattice
tower.
Replace the existing rubber seal with the supplied thicker rubber seals to close
the clearance.
