Abstract

The present invention relates to a wind turbine having a number of cables, e.g. electrical power cables, extending from a nacelle and down into a tower, where the cables are arranged in a cable loop construction, said cable loop construction comprising a number of cable spacers comprising a number of fingers extending in a radial direction at said cable spacer, thus forming a number of gaps between said fingers. By having a cable spacer comprising a number of fingers the power cables and other types of cables can be arranged more or less loose or uncoupled in a room between two such fingers. This leaves the cables free to relieve themselves from stresses when they are twisted as the nacelle is yawing in relation to the tower. Thus the cables will always be able to minimize the stresses induced by twisting, as they are not rigidly fixed to a ring or the like.
