Abstract[English]
A wind turbine blade having a blade shell with a lightning protection system; the lightning protection system comprising: a first metal layer; a second metal layer having an area no more than 10% of an area of the first metal layer; and a metal reinforcing disc formed across a portion of the second metal layer, wherein the metal reinforcing disc is fixed to the second metal layer so as to create an electrical connection with the second metal layer, and wherein a first portion of the first metal layer surrounds the second metal layer at an outer surface of the blade shell, and a second portion of the first metal layer overlaps the second metal layer and is in intimate electrical contact with the second metal layer.[French]
L'invention concerne une pale d'éolienne présentant une coque de pale avec un système de protection contre la foudre. Le système de protection contre la foudre comprend : une première couche métallique ; une seconde couche métallique présentant une surface inférieure ou égale à 10 % d'une zone de la première couche métallique ; et un disque de renforcement métallique formé à travers une partie de la seconde couche métallique. Ledit disque de renforcement métallique est fixé à la seconde couche métallique de façon à créer une connexion électrique avec la seconde couche métallique. Une première partie de la première couche métallique entoure la seconde couche métallique au niveau d'une surface externe de la coque de pale, et une seconde partie de la première couche métallique chevauche la seconde couche métallique et est en contact électrique intime avec la seconde couche métallique.
