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.
Durban: the supply, the weather and the buildings
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 mini UPS on the bookshelf keeping the router and fibre box online
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: router UPS units for each unit's fibre box and the guard hut internet link
- Offices and home offices: a mini UPS for the router so VoIP phones and email stay connected
