The main UPS systems page explains the equipment, the safety points and the costs in more detail.
Durban notes on ups & portable power
Offices in the Point and along Florida Road keep routers and small servers on a line-interactive UPS so the network rides through short trips. Many homes in Glenwood and Musgrave start with a router UPS for the fibre box and router. Portable power stations are handy for flats on the Golden Mile where a fixed inverter is not allowed, and CCTV systems in Umhlanga often get their own 12 V backup supply.
Power in Durban
Durban gets its electricity from eThekwini Municipality, and the things that cut it here are often weather related. Summer storms bring lightning and heavy rain, flooding can damage substations and cables in low-lying parts, and cable theft still knocks out streets for hours. Most requests come from households on the Berea, in Durban North and in Umhlanga estates who want lights, wifi, the fridge, the gate and the alarm kept running, usually with an inverter and a lithium battery bank. Body corporates in beachfront blocks ask about lifts, booms and pumps. The coast is hard on electronics: humid, salty air corrodes terminals and heat builds up in closed garages, so ask installers where the kit should live.
The requests we see from Durban usually 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

The requests that come up most: inverters with lithium banks for houses, plus booms and pumps for beachfront blocks. When you ask for quotes, ask how the inverter and battery terminals will be protected from salt air.
Requests range widely: 650 VA to 3 kVA desktop, larger for racks. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a UPS behind the TV and decoder or under the study desk for the PC. One local point to raise: eThekwini supply; outages from storms, flooding, cable theft and substation faults.
