Swedish term

Kröy

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Wind Turbines
This appears in a list of minor faults found in a wind turbine installation.
It appears in two lines as follows:
Torn. Kröy. SKF-signalkabel har brott på skärm.
Torn. Kröy. SKF-signalkabel hänger löst i torndel.
Other faults are in the form 'General area. Item . What is wrong' , e.g.
Bottenplan. Kabelgenomföring, skydd saknas.
So it probably refers to a piece of equipment to which cables are connected.

Michael Ellis (asker) May 10, 2014:
Yaw mechanism? Christine's clever suggestion seems the most hopeful. I will probably go with this. The problem is that "Yaw" is used several times elsewhere in the report. Unless someone has a better idea, I will wait until I have completed the translation and let you know.
Agneta Pallinder May 9, 2014:
Krön?? Might it be krön - the top of the tower - with just one typo?
Agneta Pallinder May 9, 2014:
Or acronym? Not that I can think what KRÖY might stand for either - x x övre ytan??
Nils Andersson May 9, 2014:
Typo? Kröy is NOT a word in Swedish. It could be part of a name (for an immigrant), i.e. Tom Kröy. Or else it is a typo or equivalent.

something to do with yaw, yawing

I suspect this is an attempt at the Danish ´krøje´ with Swedish spelling.

A lot of wind turbine development went on in Denmark and the original documentation was in Danish.
Gyldendals gives yawing mechanism for krøjeværk

Peer comment(s):
agree Agneta Pallinder : yaw mechanism - definition fits perfectly with definition of kroejevaerk - http://tinyurl.com/l7mb84p - great lateral - or should it be vertical thinking Christine!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "It could also mean 'yaw mechanism' in the context of the report I translated. As noted however, the report uses "Yaw" elsewhere, which is confusing. Many thanks, Christine! The transfer from Danish has been dealt with before, see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/danish_to_swedish/tech_engineering/168808-kr%C3%B8jeleje.html "
