Cape Town notes on ups & portable power
Offices in Century City and the CBD keep servers and networks on rack UPS units, while restaurants in Woodstock and Kloof Street put tills and card machines on small UPS units. Many flats in the City Bowl use a router UPS or a portable power station. CCTV systems in Claremont and Rondebosch complexes are often given their own 12 V battery backup supplies.
Power in Cape Town
The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro, with Eskom supplying some areas directly. The wind is the local troublemaker: south-easters in summer and cold-front storms in winter bring down lines and trip feeders, and cable theft and substation faults add to the outages in parts. Townhouse complexes in the southern suburbs and the Atlantic seaboard ask for inverters that fit in small spaces, and businesses in Woodstock, Epping and Montague Gardens ask for UPS units and office backup. Many households in Claremont and Rondebosch add solar to a hybrid system. Wet winters and salt air near the coast are hard on equipment, so ask installers how the kit is protected.
Typical UPS systems requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a UPS behind the TV and decoder or under the study desk for the PC
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a UPS for the guard hut intercom, access control unit and camera recorder
- Offices and home offices: line-interactive units at each desk and an online UPS for the server and switches
Local tips for Cape Town
Common here: compact hybrid inverters for townhouses and UPS units for offices. Ask each installer or supplier about this: ask whether the installer will handle any paperwork the City needs for a hybrid. Where they work from: epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland, with electricians in the southern suburbs.
UPS Systems usually suits pCs, routers, TVs, tills and network gear, and works like this: battery takes over before equipment drops. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means a UPS behind the TV and decoder or under the study desk for the PC. On the weather side: wet, windy winters and salt air; keep kit dry, indoors and away from the sea spray.
