Cabling conditions in Bloemfontein

Bloemfontein's weather swings from hot summers with violent thunderstorms to frosty winter nights. Lightning is frequent on the open plains, so surge arrestors and solid earthing protect homes, offices and inverters. Expansive clay soils in parts of the city swell and shrink with the seasons, which can stress underground cable and joints. As the judicial capital and seat of the Free State government, the city has many offices, courts, hospitals and universities. Mangaung supplies most of the city, and cable theft and ageing networks lead many businesses to install solar and backup power and to fault-find old underground runs.
