Abstract
A wind turbine blade () comprising an outer shell () incorporating a metallic foil component (), a conductive blade component () in-board of the metallic foil component (), and a fabric sheet assembly () positioned between the metallic component () and the conductive blade component (). The fabric sheet assembly comprises: one or more non-conductive fabric sheets () which define first and second outer surfaces () of the fabric sheet assembly (); and at least one conductive thread stitch () penetrating a depth of the one or more fabric sheets () and being exposed at the outer surfaces (); thereby to enable equipotential bonding between the conductive blade component () and the metallic foil component ().
