Thus necessary grounding, so when the struck the tower or ground wire, then the lightning stroke current will flow into the ground through the tower. In the area of high potential for lightning strikes, grounding required type of counterpoise. Counterpoise which is a conducter mounted horizontally in the soil. Counterpoise effective length when there is lightning currents flowing in the high voltage overhead line towers. Thus essay is done to assess the effectivelength of counterpoise in a state of being energized by lightning. In this paper calculated the effective length of the counterpoise with various soil resistivity wavefront impulse and impulse currents.} }
