FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: lightning protection circuit has rectangular frame made of metal wire and is closed to electric condenser; it is buried in low-conductivity soil and functions as receiving antenna. Specific properties of circuit appear in electromagnetic field built up due to thunderstorm and are used to convey lighting channel to circuit plane. EFFECT: improved lightning protection of buried cables.
