A macroscopic model is proposed to describe the dynamics of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD). This model depends on the adoption of a suitable distribution function for the energetic current‐carrying electrons. The model is readily applied to examine the current drive efficiency of high‐power ECCD experiments, reproducing the main experimental features.
