UPS & portable power in Randburg: local notes
Home offices in Northcliff and Linden keep fibre running with a router UPS, while small firms in Randburg CBD and Kensington B put desktops and card machines on line-interactive units.

Northcliff houses near the ridge should put the alarm panel on a surge protected supply.
Backing up in Randburg
Randburg's power comes from City Power, and much of it runs through older overhead lines and substations built for a quieter suburb. Residents in Ferndale, Blairgowrie and Bromhof mostly lose power to cable theft, local transformer faults and storms that knock out lines along Republic Road and Hans Schoeman Drive. Northcliff Ridge draws lightning, and houses near the top see more inverter and alarm damage than most. The housing mix is wide: 1970s family homes, sectional title flats near the old Randburg CBD and cottages behind main houses. Many owners start small with an inverter trolley or a router UPS, then move up to a fixed hybrid system once they know their loads.
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
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: backup for the guard hut, boom cameras, the perimeter fence and the control room
- Offices and home offices: alarm and access control batteries plus a UPS for the camera recorder
