Abstract
An electrical conductor assembly for a rotor blade includes a substrate and at least one electrical conductor. The substrate includes an inboard end portion and an outboard end portion. The at least one electrical conductor is attached to the substrate and extends between the inboard end portion and the outboard end portion. The at least one electrical conductor is configured to transmit electricity along a length of the rotor blade. The inboard end portion and the outboard end portion are structured such that when the electrical conductor assembly is installed within the rotor blade, the inboard end portion is securable relative to the rotor blade and the outboard end portion is movable relative to the rotor blade.
