The invention relates to a
tower for a wind
turbine and to a cable guide for a
tower of a wind
turbine, wherein a
machine housing for the wind
turbine is arranged on the
tower such that it can rotate by means of the
azimuth bearing about a
vertical axis which runs in the longitudinal direction of the tower. Current-carrying cables, such as power cables, are routed in the tower of the wind turbine out of the
machine housing from electrical components to the ground. These comprise a multiplicity of cables, for example a plurality of cables for electrically carrying individual phases of
alternating current, in particular three-phase
alternating current, cables for ground conductors and / or
signal and control cables. One object of the invention is to specify improved routing of the cables which, inter alia, avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.; One particular aim is to ensure that the
current load capacity of the cables is ensured, and / or that wear between the cables is reduced. According to the invention, the object is achieved by the features of the main claim 1, by arranging a guide apparatus effectively between the cable loom and the tower, in the tower, for at least partial fixing of the area of the cable loom to the tower, wherein the guide apparatus has means for supporting the lower area of the cable loom in a radial direction, and for support with respect to the tower in a circumferential direction. In this case, the guide apparatus is designed such that the lower area of the cable loom is mounted such that it can move in the axial direction with respect to the tower, but is essentially fixed with respect to the tower in the circumferential and radial directions.
