Based on a basic LPS model with conventional down-conductors especially the cases of external and internal steel columns and metal fa{\c{c}}ades are considered and compared. Numerical simulations of the line quantities voltages and currents in the time domain are performed with an equivalent circuit of the entire LPS. As a result it can be stated that by increasing the number of conventional down-conductors and external steel columns the threat for a human being can indeed be reduced, but not down to an acceptable limit. In case of internal steel columns used as natural down-conductors the threat can be reduced sufficiently, depending on the low-resistive connection of the steel columns to the lightning equipotential bonding or the earth termination system, resp. If a metal fa{\c{c}}ade is used the threat for human beings touching is usually very low, if the fa{\c{c}}ade is sufficiently interconnected and multiply connected to the lightning equipotential bonding or the earth termination system, resp.}, language = {en} } @article{KernLangWiesingeretal.1989, author = {Kern, Alexander and Lang, U. and Wiesinger, J. and Zischank, Wolfgang J.}, title = {The longitudinal voltage of cable tubes with a screening mesh caused by partial lightning currents}, series = {Proceedings / Sixth International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering : 28.
