Eskom has always been the only power supplier to our industry, the export market and
municipalities who in turn resell to our domestic consumers. Over the last 5 years the power
generated in Gig watt-hours has been increasing massively each year.
With the increased demand for power by the growth of our economy we project the demand based
on the average generation over the next five years to far exceed the savings as requested by Eskom
– the amount generated not being sufficient to cover projected demand.

The present 10% savings would, in fact, result in an increased demand over the next few years.
This will directly influence businesses and there will be an increase in the time factor to offset the
10% demand. This is how we see it based on a 2 hour saving:

YOUR ELECTRICITY PROBLEM SOLVED
Our solution is based for the industry as our product has the following value added benefits:
Pure Sine Wave
This means clean and stable power in which all electrical items would function normally
There are modified sine wave inverters but these would not guarantee that all equipment
would work as there are some items that are not compatible with this kind of wave, and over
time this would damage the equipment.
Switching over from electrical power to UPS in under 4 milliseconds
This ensures that computers and all the other equipment function normally when the lights
go out due to load shedding or any other electrical occurrences, thereby protecting the
equipment from unnecessary loss of data or even complete failure.
Automatic reset load switch
In the event that the unit is overloaded it would switch off, and once the load is within
operating range, would automatically reset and supply power to all the equipment for which it
was originally intended. This is to protect the batteries and the unit from unnecessary
malfunctions
UPS sizes vary according to work loads
Every office/work environment will be measured at the Distribution Board to determine
Its electrical consumption and a unit will be installed to handle the measured workload.
AVR – Automatic Volt Register
This controls all the surges that occur in our power supply and keeps a control so that the
equipment will not be subjected to any power surge. This is beneficial when the normal power is
on, as this will create a buffer for any surge from Eskom, thus extending the lifespan of the
equipment
Solar Power Enabled
In the event of the consumer choosing to be environmentally friendly, a solar panel based on the
size of the equipment can be installed to have power to recharge the batteries. When the batteries
are fully charged the power will filter through to the equipment, thereby not using the batteries at all.
The new price increase will make this type of electricity very affordable.

•
Cold Start
This means that in the event where all the units are switched off and the power was
load-shed, you can start the equipment on the UPS and the power consumption from
cold start can be handled by the UPS. Most UPS’ will not allow you to switch
anything on if they weren’t operating before the power failed.
•
Short Circuit and Overload Protection
Since we install the unit to the distribution board, short circuits will be handled at the
distribution board, and as a protection we also have short circuit and overload
protection built into the UPS unit.
•
•
Recharging is quick and stable (recharging 20 amps)
The recharging time, based on the size and number of battery banks is usually fast
and clean as the unit can be personalized to each customers requirements. The
norm is between 20 and 35 amps therefore allowing the unit to charge in the shortest
time and be in readiness for the next shutdown.
.
No noise, no fuel, no expensive service
Our unit is unlike a generator as there is no irritating loud noise, there are no
expensive fuel bills and, guaranteed, no expensive services or unnecessary
downtime due to breakdown or maintenance.
SCOPE OF APPLICATION
/ USAGE:
•YOUR ENTIRE
BUSINESS AS IF
LOAD SHEDDING
DID NOT OCCUR
•
Maintenance
•
There is a choice of maintenance agreements available to suit the customer
•
Warranty
•
A warranty of 3 years will be issued with every unit
•
BATTTERY SPECIFICATIONS
•
We are currently using an AGM or starved electrolyte battery. This was invented by
Concorde Battery Corporation in the USA and was classified for a number of years as
it was used in the US Defense force for the F/A-18, F-117A (Stealth), and C-130 and
later for the Learjet, Citation.
This battery has a life span of between 5 and 15 years, and has a cycle life of over
600 cycles based on the usage.
•
Installation
• The UPS will be installed into the DB by a
qualified wireman and a certificate of
compliance will be issued for insurance
purposes. This will avoid unnecessary
electricity cables being in walking isles and
corridors, avoiding electrocution and the
possibility of falls. All UPS warning labels will
be correctly displayed on the distribution
board cover to avoid accidents.
