Cabling conditions in Kimberley

Kimberley's extreme summer heat is tough on cable. Exposed runs, roof spaces and outdoor DB boards can get very hot, which reduces a cable's current-carrying capacity and speeds up insulation ageing, so derating and UV-resistant sheathing are important. Clear skies make solar highly effective, and many homes and businesses have installed panels and batteries. Diamond mining shaped the city, and some operations still use heavy cable. Sol Plaatje Municipality supplies the city, but cable theft and an ageing network cause regular faults. Hard, rocky ground in many areas makes trenching slow and costly.
