I never had problems with turbines on the same tower as other things.
The 3 phase is probably a variable frequency that is converted at the
bottom to something usable.
10 kW is not going to bother the ethernet if it is wired properly. An
electric furnace in a home has that much power consumption and you
probably would not hesitate to run CAT5 around a mechanical room with
a furnace in it.

Subject: [AFMUG] Colo with wind turbine
I'm talking to somebody who was a 10KW wind turbine on top of a 140'
tower. 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?
