The vibration shouldn’t hurt the equipment. Radio manufacturers shake the hell out of radios to make sure they don’t get damaged in transport or mounted near things like AC units.
There is actually some standards on it, but I don’t recall what they are.

Have not had any issues with power or vibration. We do have the owner lock the turbine while we are on the tower though. We stay below the last guy wires well out of the way of the turbine. I am really not sure if he is doing DC to AC at the ground or not - he also has a bunch of solar panels at the base. So YMMV on that.

I haven't seen it yet, but the dimensions of the tower sound simlar to a Rohn 45G. One of my colleagues is concerned about vibration from the turbine doing something bad to us. There's also 3-phase AC running down from the turbine. I'm concerned about colo-ing ethernet with (up to) 10KW of AC power. Has anybody been down this road? Am I just being paranoid? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
