Power in North West
North West mixes the platinum belt with maize country, and the backup requests follow the money and the distances. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mines and their suppliers run large 3 phase systems, while nearby homes and complexes want ordinary inverter setups. Out towards Lichtenburg, Mahikeng and the western farms, Eskom lines run for kilometres, and a fault on one can take days to reach. Some municipal networks are also stretched, with ageing substations and local breakdowns. Borehole pumps, irrigation controllers, electric fences and farm fridges top the lists. Dry heat in summer and real frost in winter both test batteries in sheds, and lightning over the open plains makes surge protection worth asking for.
Typical CCTV and alarm battery backup requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a healthy alarm battery, backup for the cameras and the recorder on a UPS
- Farms and smallholdings: electric fence energiser batteries and backed up cameras at the gates and stores
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: camera rooms, perimeter beams and alarm panels backed up across warehouses and yards
