Centurion notes on ups & portable power
Offices in Highveld Techno Park and Centurion's business district around the lake usually want a rack UPS for the server cabinet and smaller units on reception desks. Home offices in Wierda Park and Doringkloof buy router UPS units for the fibre box. Estates also ask for CCTV and alarm backup, so cameras along the perimeter keep recording while the power is off. Check whether the PoE switch is on backup too.
Centurion: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Centurion falls under the City of Tshwane, and its estates and townhouse complexes have grown faster than parts of the local network. Residents in Eldoraigne, Rooihuiskraal and Irene usually trace their outages to a faulty mini-substation, stolen cable along the main roads or a lightning strike during a summer storm. Body corporates are a big part of the work here: complexes want the gate, booms, guard hut, CCTV and sometimes a borehole pump backed up, then owners add their own inverter. Business parks along the N1 and in Highveld Techno Park ask for UPS systems on networks and servers. Check the estate rules before work starts, because many control where inverters and batteries may go.
Who asks for UPS systems around Centurion, most often first:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a UPS for the guard hut intercom, access control unit and camera recorder
- Homeowners: a UPS behind the TV and decoder or under the study desk for the PC
- Offices and home offices: line-interactive units at each desk and an online UPS for the server and switches
