UPS & portable power in North West: local notes
Offices in Mahikeng's government district and Rustenburg's CBD keep desktops and network switches on UPS units so work is saved when the power trips. Farmers along the N14 and the R52 use solar generators and power stations at cattle posts and borehole sites far from the house. In Klerksdorp and Orkney, security firms fit 12 V supplies with batteries to keep cameras and alarm panels watching through outages.
Backing up 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.

The requests we see from North West usually come from:
- Homeowners: emergency bulbs in the passage and lounge and a lamp beside the DB board
- Farms and smallholdings: rechargeable lamps for the farmhouse, staff housing, the dairy and the store room
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: escape lighting and exit signs across factory floors, warehouses, schools and churches
Local tips for North West
Common here: borehole and farm backup, mine supplier sites and home inverters in Rustenburg. Ask each installer or supplier about this: ask the installer to size for the pump's starting surge, not only its running watts. Where they work from: installers and battery shops in Rustenburg, Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Brits.
Requests range widely: single bulbs to building escape lighting. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for emergency bulbs in the passage and lounge and a lamp beside the DB board. One local point to raise: municipal networks in towns, Eskom on long rural lines; local faults can last days.
