Abstract
The effect of lightning channel inclination on the attachment of lightning flashes to UHV transmission lines is investigated using a lightning strike model that takes into account the competing connecting leaders issued from different conductors. The results show that the probability of screening failures increases with increasing inclination of the lightning channel.
