Pretoria notes on ups & portable power
Around the University of Pretoria in Hatfield and Brooklyn, students buy router UPS units and small power stations to keep studying through an outage. Doctors' rooms and pharmacies along Rigel Avenue and in Menlo Park put reception computers and vaccine fridges on a UPS. Guest houses in Arcadia often add emergency lights in passages, and security companies ask for battery backup on gate cameras and alarm panels.
Backing up in Pretoria
The City of Tshwane supplies most of Pretoria, with Eskom serving some areas on the northern and western edges directly. Interruptions here tend to come from overloaded mini-substations in fast growing eastern suburbs, cable theft and the violent thunderstorms that roll in on summer afternoons. Pretoria sits lower than Johannesburg and gets warmer, so a battery bolted to a west facing garage wall in Moreleta Park or Garsfontein can run hot in January. Families in the east want whole house essentials covered, embassies and guest houses in Arcadia and Waterkloof ask for quiet systems, and the student flats of Hatfield and Sunnyside lean on small UPS units and power stations for study.
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
