Abstract
A tubular tower (), of a wind energy plant () with a current conduction means system () for transmitting electrical power from a generator on the tower (), to a power module at the base of the tower. The current conduction means system () has three electrical conductors () arranged next to one another. A housing () is connected to the inner tower wall at predetermined distances using connecting devices which have electrical cross-sections conducting with the tower wall. The distances between the connecting devices in the longitudinal extent of the tower () and the cross-sections of the connecting devices between the housing () and the tower wall are dimensioned such that during a fault, the voltage drop between the tower wall and the housing () does not exceed a predetermined touch voltage.
