Worcester notes on ups & portable power
Packhouse offices in the Hex River Valley rely on computers for picking and export paperwork in season, so a UPS with extended batteries is a common request near De Doorns. Shops on High Street and Church Street keep tills running on small units. Truckers on the N1 through Worcester buy 12 V to 230 V inverters for the cab. In Zwelethemba and Avian Park, rechargeable lights and a router UPS are the usual first step.
Backing up in Worcester
Breede Valley Municipality supplies Worcester, and Eskom supplies many of the farms in the valley directly. The cuts here are usually from storms, wind, cable theft and faults on long farm lines out towards De Doorns and Rawsonville. Fruit and wine farms in the Hex River Valley and along the Breede River need backup on cold stores, packhouses, irrigation pumps and cellar equipment, so many requests are for 3 phase systems. Homes in Worcester's suburbs ask for inverters to run lights, wifi, TVs and gates. Summers in the valley are very hot, and garages and sheds can get far too hot for batteries, so ask about where the bank should go.
The requests we see from Worcester usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: electric fence energiser batteries and backed up cameras at the gates and stores
- Homeowners: a healthy alarm battery, backup for the cameras and the recorder on a UPS
- Shops, restaurants and salons: the camera recorder on a UPS and alarm backup so the shop stays covered overnight
