A drive system for a wind turbine includes at least one planetary gear stage, connectable to a rotor shaft of the wind turbine and including a sun gear engaging with multiple planetary gears, a driven hollow shaft connected to the sun gear, a pitch tube having a generator-side end with a centering shoulder, and a face side provided with threaded holes, the pitch tube being arranged concentrically to the annulus gear and extending axially over the entirety of the planetary stage, an adapter element having an opening for receiving a generator add-on component, the adapter element being received on and radially surrounding the generator side end and fixed in position radially and axially in one direction by the centering shoulder, and screw-type connection fittings extending axially through the adapter element and being received in the threaded holes of the pitch tube for securing the adapter element to the pitch tube.

Device system for a wind turbine

In a low-voltage circuit breaker, terminal points for connecting contact arrangements to stationary bus bars are provided. Between the terminal points and the stationary bus bars, connecting bars are arranged which are braced relative to the housing of the circuit breaker by support bodies against current forces. The support bodies are parts comprising relatively thin insulating material with cutouts for the connecting bars. Detent projections allow the support bodies to snap into corresponding recesses in the lateral housing walls of the circuit breaker.
