   Simulation of initial stage of electrical breakdown is concerned with taking into account plural development of accidentally allocated avalanches using percolation theory. Adaptation of percolation theory allows evaluating breakdown threshold as appearance of cluster overlapping the dis-charge gap, evaluating speed of plasma object propagation and also evaluating its topological features. Comparison of calculated and experimental data has been represented. PACS: 52.80.Mg
