UPS & portable power in Cape Town: local notes
Offices in Century City and the CBD keep servers and networks on rack UPS units, while restaurants in Woodstock and Kloof Street put tills and card machines on small UPS units. Many flats in the City Bowl use a router UPS or a portable power station. CCTV systems in Claremont and Rondebosch complexes are often given their own 12 V battery backup supplies.
Backing up in Cape Town
The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro, with Eskom supplying some areas directly. The wind is the local troublemaker: south-easters in summer and cold-front storms in winter bring down lines and trip feeders, and cable theft and substation faults add to the outages in parts. Townhouse complexes in the southern suburbs and the Atlantic seaboard ask for inverters that fit in small spaces, and businesses in Woodstock, Epping and Montague Gardens ask for UPS units and office backup. Many households in Claremont and Rondebosch add solar to a hybrid system. Wet winters and salt air near the coast are hard on equipment, so ask installers how the kit is protected.
Typical emergency lights requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: emergency bulbs in the passage and lounge and a lamp beside the DB board
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: escape lighting in stairwells, parking garages and walkways, plus exit signs at the doors
- Offices and home offices: exit signs and escape lighting on the routes out, plus lamps at reception
