Cabling conditions in Margate

Margate and the South Coast towns have many holiday flats and retirement homes that stand empty for weeks, which leaves wiring and fittings exposed to damp and salt without anyone noticing. Corroded DB boards, rusted conduit and failing outdoor lights are common findings when these properties are sold and need a COC. The humid subtropical climate and summer lightning add to the strain, so sealed enclosures, surge protection and tinned connectors are sensible choices. Ray Nkonyeni Municipality supplies much of the area, and small hotels, restaurants and shops along the beachfront need dependable commercial wiring and backup power.

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

Coastal properties: coastal sites need well-sealed terminations because salt air speeds up corrosion
Homeowners: homeowners use copper cable for all circuits and sometimes aluminium for long supply runs
Complexes and body corporates: complexes feed blocks of units with aluminium sub-mains and copper cable inside each unit
Shops and retail: shopping centres run large aluminium feeders to tenant DB boards with copper final circuits
Solar and backup power: solar installers use copper for DC and AC wiring, and aluminium on long feeders to large arrays
