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.
Typical power inverters requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a pure sine inverter and deep cycle battery for the TV and lights in a pinch
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: an inverter in the security patrol vehicle for radios, chargers and a spotlight
