From the Middle East to the World — Meeting Multi-Color Fault Alarm Requirements with a Single System
In today’s global power infrastructure market, fault alarm systems must not only react quickly but also present information with absolute clarity. Yet requirements for alarm color indication vary widely between countries: 🇹🇭 Thailand: two-color indication standard 🇯🇴 Jordan: three-color requirement 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: six-color display for multiple alarm levels Many suppliers struggle to balance these regional differences within one design. ODES sol

Fewer Wires, Smarter Alarms
Complex wiring doesn’t have to be the price of functionality. Discover how ODES is making GIS alarm systems lighter and smarter at www.odes-electric.com The Problem: Cable Clutter in Modern GIS Panels In many GIS high-voltage switchgear projects, door-control wiring —the bundles of signal cables running from the cabinet body to the front door—remains a persistent challenge. It’s common to see 30 or more wires , each several meters long, running through the door frame li

ODES Integrated Annunciation for GIS Switchgear
Executive Summary Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) bays expose many alarm points—run status, lockout, SF₆ pressure, temperature/humidity, and auxiliaries. Traditional designs stitch together scattered pilot lamps, relays, and buzzers, creating wiring density, space pressure, and maintenance overhead. A centralized annunciation unit consolidates point acquisition, indication, audible/visual control, and a hardwired total-alarm output into one device, cutting panel space and wiri

When Rated Power Isn’t Enough
In secondary systems such as protection and control , station communication , and industrial automation , DC switch-mode power supplies are standard. Yet engineers often encounter an odd problem: the load power is below the supply’s rating , but the unit still trips into overcurrent or overload protection at startup. The issue isn’t always poor quality—it’s usually poor matching . Subtle transient conditions can create “invisible overloads.” This article explains th
