Abstract :
An original circuit model is presented for analyzing current distribution of a tower on lightning stroke. Electrical parameters of steels are determined by a serial of approximate calculating. Several profound references are provided - the earth resistivity and the lightning position can not affect the branch current of antenna cable jacket; grounding conductor´s current is only determined by the conductor´s location.
