Cabling conditions in East London

East London is a river port with a strong automotive industry. A vehicle assembly plant and component makers in the industrial development zone need three-phase supplies, armoured cable and regular maintenance. The city sits on the coast, so homes in Nahoon, Gonubie and the Quigney feel the effect of salt air on outdoor lights, gate motors and pool pumps. Buffalo City Metro supplies most of the urban area, and ageing municipal infrastructure has made many owners invest in solar and backup batteries. Older homes near the Buffalo River often need rewiring to current standards before they can be sold.

Typical copper and aluminium cable requests in the area come from:

Factories and workshops: factories run heavy aluminium armoured feeders to motor control centres and machines
Homeowners: homeowners use copper cable for all circuits and sometimes aluminium for long supply runs
Coastal properties: coastal sites need well-sealed terminations because salt air speeds up corrosion
Solar and backup power: solar installers use copper for DC and AC wiring, and aluminium on long feeders to large arrays
Shops and retail: shopping centres run large aluminium feeders to tenant DB boards with copper final circuits
