Welkom notes on ups & portable power

Shops along Stateway and in the CBD use UPS units for tills, card machines and computers. Clinics in Thabong and Odendaalsrus want UPS on medicine fridges and emergency lights. Home offices in Flamingo Park use router UPS units. Farmers on the R30 keep a power inverter in the bakkie, and security firms back up alarm panels and cameras.

Welkom: the supply, the weather and the buildings

Welkom is a gold field town in the middle of the maize belt, with mine shafts, mine hostels and planned suburbs laid out around traffic circles. The Matjhabeng Local Municipality supplies the town, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies some mines, farms and areas directly. Ageing infrastructure in parts of the network, cable theft and storm damage are behind many outages. With so many households on fixed incomes, plug-in options such as router UPS units, trolleys and rechargeable lights are common first purchases. Families in Riebeeckstad and Flamingo Park want lights, wifi and the gate covered, and farms out towards Odendaalsrus and Hennenman ask about pumps and fences. Lightning season needs surge protection.
