Abstract :
This paper presents an application of the Electromagnetic Transient Program (ATP-EMTP) for determining the lightning current distribution within the CN Tower and the attached return-stroke channel. This ATP model takes into account current reflections within the lightning channel and the Tower. The simulation results are in good agreement with the lightning current measured at the CN Tower.
