Attracting lightning in the name of lightning protection is an unnecessary risk for no reason but the real solution is to stay away from direct lightning strikes.
EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System keeps you away from lightning.

EvoDis® is a great alternative to all known lightning protection solutions. E.S.E. systems, lightning rods, and Faraday Cage systems are all designed to attract lightning. They try to create a path for lightning from cloud to ground through the copper conductors but they increase the risk of lightning-related damage by attracting millions of volts on the protected structure. EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System dissipates the charges on the structure to be protected and prevents lightning strike occurance on site. Hundreds of lightning strikes at three elevations have been applied at Istanbul Technical University and EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System has shown a 100% success in the high voltage laboratory tests which is documented with the test reports. EvoDis® samples have also shown better performance comparing to competitor products worldwide.
EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System is a result of over 5 years of research and 1.5 years of development process. Completely local manufactured EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System is the latest form of lightning dissipation technology and made of high quality material combined with proper design especially for hard weather conditions. EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System comes with 20 year product warranty and insurance option is also available for some industries. EvoDis® is the first and the only lightning protection system that have been put in a field test process and tracked by lightning detectors as a part of R&D studies before manufacturing. All models have independant designs registered on MTO Engineering and Project Development Ltd.

EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System uses Charge Dissipation Principle. This principle is based on quickly emitting the positive charges through hundreds of sharp points instead of using a simple rod with a single point to attract lightning. This sysytem completely stops or in some cases delays the formation of positive upward streamers between the protected structure and the cloud by dissipating the concentration of the charges on the structure. This makes the protected structure “invisible” to lightning strikes.

EvoDis® -55:
High Risk Protection Telecommunication towers, Radio-TV towers, Antenna towers, Tower cranes, High rise buildings taller than 50 meters, Stacks and Bridge poles. Usually EvoDis ® -55 can not be used alone. Multiple EvoDis ® -55 units in a certain geometry with physical connection to the grounding system must be applied.

EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System minimizes the risk of getting struck by lightning. So;
° Lightning current can not damage the electronic equipment on the tower.
° Million volts of energy can not damage the eletrical system at houses, offices or facilities.
° Structural damage by explosive pressure effect of lightning is prevented.
° Sudden rise in temperature causing fire and explosions are blocked.
° Electromagnetic field of lightning current can not affect the sensitive electronics on the path of flow to ground.
° Most importantly; no incident resultened by injuries or deaths.

Lightning strike can damage a tower and the electronics on and in the shelter nearby but also any station directly linked to that site
gets out of service in the lightning region.

GSM / Telecommunication / Radio-TV Towers:
Lightning usually affect the tallest and relatively sharp objects around because those react to the negatively charged stepped leaders faster and emit positive upward streamers (see lightning formation). Those structures are open to lightning strikes and can not be protected by lightning arresters because these type of products attract lightning and transfer the current through the tower body which damages the electronics (antennas, radoms, dishes, etc) as if the tower is not protected. Lightning current also damages the shelter and the electronics inside. Any station remaining out of service affects the load on the other sites linked to it and this may risk the operation of the other sites as well.
EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System can be the only solution to protect a complete galvanized steel construction tower against lightning strikes. EvoDis® dissipates the positive charges on the tower, minimizes the risk of upward streamer formation and hence, creates a lightning-free environment for the tower and the shelter nearby. Since that the tower gets “invisible” to lightning, any possible damage is eliminated. EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System application varies from one tower to the other. Many variables such as the height of tower, a platform at the top, the intensity of electronic devices on the body or distance between legs are all important for the system design, size and component. All designs are prepared by international lightning protection codes and every single structure has unique design, installation and cost of service.
Other Application Fields:
Energy Distribution Lines
Chemical Plants / Petrochemical Stations
High-rise Buildings / Skyscrapers / Civil Industry
Military Zones/ Explosive Warehouses
Schools / Hospitals

EvoDis® Lightning Dissipation System needs unique design for every single structure because of the differences in the shape and the material type and amount on it. MTO technicians make a site survey and according to the data, design team prepares the proper application project for the structure. The designs show the EvoDis® models with the serial numbers and the placement of them. By this way, any technician can easily make the installation with the design and the instruction manual delivered with the products.
