Choosing High-Power, EMC-Hardened Time Relays for HV Control – Meet ODES STR-F1
Why HV Primary Control Now Demands “High-Power, EMC-Hardened” Time Relays In high-voltage circuit breaker control circuits, timing is not just a detail – it is part of the protection and interlocking function itself. But the environment around primary equipment is harsh: Strong electromagnetic disturbance from switching operations Inrush and back-EMF from trip/close coils and contactors Induced voltages on long control cables Several utilities now explicitly require that ti

Mastering HV Breaker Timing: ODES STR-F2 for Three-Phase Disagreement and Spring-Charging
Two “Small” Circuits That Decide HV Breaker Behaviour In high-voltage circuit breaker control, two secondary circuits quietly determine whether the primary equipment behaves as designed: Three-phase disagreement supervision Spring-charging (energy-storage) motor control If their timing is unstable, the result can be: Spurious three-phase disagreement alarms or trips caused by transient contact bounce Spring-charging motors running too long or starting simultaneously, stres

STR-P Time Relay: Wide-Range Auxiliary Supply for Reliable Protection Timing
Why Secondary Protection Circuits Need a “Durable Clock” In secondary protection and control circuits, time coordination is not a luxury – it is part of the protection function itself. Breaker failure logic, block / unblock sequences Signal latching and release Power-on delays and power-off delays Pulse extension for relay outputs or interlocking If the timing element is unstable, sensitive to supply fluctuations, or loses its settings, the entire scheme becomes harder to com

UL 94 V-0 Enclosures, Automated: Inside ODES’ Fourth-Generation Housing Platform
Enclosures Are Not Cosmetics – They’re the First Safety Barrier In power systems and industrial control, the enclosure is not a cosmetic “outer shell”. It is the first functional barrier for: Electrical safety and flame behaviour EMC and thermal management Wiring density and assembly efficiency As relay panels and control cabinets become more compact, and as standards tighten around fire performance, traceability, and production consistency , the enclosure itself has to
