After a lightning storm, inverter repair requests come in quickly, so ask what surge protection is fitted.
eMalahleni: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Living in the middle of the country's coal and power station belt does not mean the lights stay on in eMalahleni. Most homes and businesses get electricity from the local municipality, which buys in bulk from Eskom, while parts of the surrounding townships, farms and mine land are fed by Eskom directly. Cable theft, overloaded local networks and summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail all cause outages here. Households in Witbank and Del Judor usually back up wifi, lights, the TV, the fridge and the gate. Mines, contractors and engineering workshops ask for UPS units on control rooms and offices. Fit surge protection: Highveld lightning is hard on inverters.
