Abstract:
A method of mounting an electrical cable (28) to a support structure (2) of an offshore electricity generating apparatus is disclosed. The method comprises mounting a cable protection apparatus (30) to an external surface of the support structure, wherein the cable protection apparatus comprises a plurality of first elements interconnected to define a channel for receiving the cable, wherein each first element is prevented from pivoting through more than a predetermined angle relative to a further first element attached thereto. The cable protection apparatus is mounted to the electrical cable such that the cable protection apparatus prevents the cable being bent around a bend radius smaller than a predetermined minimum bend radius and the cable protrudes from a lower end of the cable protection apparatus when mounted to the support structure.
