Abstract

The present invention relates to a wind turbine blade having a lightning protection system. The blade includes a pressure side shell part and a suction side shell part. The pressure side shell part or the suction side shell part comprises a blade component extending along a longitudinal axis of the blade and comprising one or more carbon fibre structures. The blade component is at least partially embedded in the shell part. An elongate metallic element is arranged in direct contact with the blade component, and at least part of the elongate metallic element is positioned between the blade component and an outer surface of the shell part. A lightning receptor is arranged in electrical contact with the elongate metallic element and extends to or near an outer surface of the blade shell part. The lightning receptor does not extend through the blade component.
