Lightning protection system for a carbon pultruded blade and carbon pultruded blade

A lightning protection system for a carbon pultruded blade comprising:

• a stack of carbon pultruded layers having at least a bottom layer and a top layer, each layer having a first end and a second end;
• the stack of carbon pultruded layers defining a tip-region, a root-region, and a mid-region arranged between the tip-region and the root-region;
• at least one lightning conductor extending along the stack of carbon pultruded layers from the tip-region to the root-region;
• and
• an equipotential bonding element electrically connecting the stack of carbon pultruded layers with the lightning conductor, wherein the equipotential bonding element comprises a plurality of electrical connections;
• each end of each carbon pultruded layer is electrically connected with the lightning conductor by one of the electrical connections;
• and
• each electrical connection that connects one of the ends of the top layer with the lightning conductor is electrically connected with the bottom layer of the stack of carbon pultruded layers.
