A blade for a rotor of a wind turbine has a substantially horizontal rotor shaft, the rotor including a hub, from which the blade extends substantially in a radial direction when mounted to the hub. The blade includes a profiled contour including a leading edge and a trailing edge as well as a pressure side and a suction side, the profiled contour when being impacted by an incident airflow generating a lift. The profiled contour is divided into a root region with a substantially circular profile closest to the hub, an airfoil region with a lift generating profile furthest away from the hub, and a transition region between the root region and the airfoil region. The profile of the transition region gradually changes in the radial direction from the circular profile of the root region to the lift generating profile of the airfoil region. The suction side comprises at least a first zone, which extends substantially in the direction of the incident airflow, and which is positioned in a zone of a cross-flow. The first zone includes a first barrier generating means adapted to generating a barrier of airflow, which extends essentially in the direction of the incident airflow, the barrier of airflow being of sufficient strength and length so as to effectively reduce the cross-flow.

An arrangement is made in a transformer such that voltages induced on the opposite sides of a mid-point 17 of a secondary winding 16 are unbalanced by an amount on the order of 5%. When a ground terminal 18 is not grounded while a mid-point of a load is grounded, a voltage VUE is developed between the mid-point 17 and a non-active line terminal 15 and is rectified to provide a rectified output which turns a transistor 28 on, causing a light emitting element 33L to emit light. The resulting light renders a light receiving element 33P conductive, whereby a relay 37 is operated to turn a switch 13 off. When a ground fault occurs on one side of the secondary winding 16 while the ground terminal 16 is not grounded, a ground fault detection circuit 38 fails to detect the ground fault, but the non-grounding protection circuit 30 detects the ground fault and turns the switch 13 off.
