ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a wind turbine connected to a utility grid or another electric load. The wind turbine comprises at least one electric generator generating a high current, at least one substantially inflexible conductor conducting the current, a high current connector including a housing capable of conducting the current, where the housing comprises two or more openings for accommodating at least two conductor ends of the conductor. The wind turbine is characterized in that, the openings of the high current connector comprise one or more connections for providing an electric connection between the conductor ends and the housing, the connections are configured for allowing substantially unrestricted movements of the conductor ends in the conductors longitudinal direction. The invention further relates to a high current connector and uses hereof.
