In the paper, the statistical modeling method of the lightning attachment process to extended objects has been proposed. The modeling takes into account the probabilities of lightning occurrence with current of different amplitudes, and nonlinear variation of spark resistance at leader channel growth. The method also takes into consideration dependence of velocity and acceleration of a lightning leader on its potential. The method is implemented to analyze a high voltage substation lightning protection system.
