UPS & portable power in Gauteng: local notes
Home offices in Northcliff, Edenvale and Garsfontein lean on router UPS units and small power stations for video calls when the fibre box drops. IT dealers around Sandton, Rosebank and Hatfield supply line-interactive UPS units for desktops and rack UPS units for server cupboards. Security companies in Alberton and Boksburg fit battery backed 12 V supplies so cameras, alarm panels and electric fences stay up when the street goes dark.
Gauteng: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Electricity in Gauteng reaches most homes through the metros: City Power in Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane and the City of Ekurhuleni, while Eskom supplies Soweto, parts of Sandton and Midrand and many townships directly. Load shedding is quieter than it was, yet cable theft, overloaded mini substations and violent Highveld thunderstorms still black out whole suburbs, sometimes for days while a fault is traced. Most households want the wifi, lights, TV, fridge, gate and alarm kept going, usually with a 5 kVA hybrid inverter and a 48V lithium module. Estates, offices and small server rooms ask for larger 3 phase systems. Summer lightning is the biggest danger to electronics here, so make surge protection part of every quote.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: a power station in the lounge running wifi, lights, the TV and phone chargers
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a power station at the guard hut for the radio, lights and the intercom
- Offices and home offices: a power station per desk so laptops, screens and the router keep running
