Cabling conditions in Welkom
Welkom was built on the Free State goldfields, and mining still shapes cable demand here. Shafts, hostels and processing plants need trailing cable, armoured feeders and regular repairs, while closed mines leave abandoned infrastructure that attracts copper thieves. Matjhabeng Municipality supplies the town, and its ageing network has suffered from theft and outages, pushing homes and businesses towards solar and backup systems. The surrounding maize and sunflower farms rely on long underground feeds to centre-pivot irrigation and boreholes. Hot summers bring lightning on the open plain, so surge protection and proper earthing are common requirements.

Typical panel and earth wire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: mines use heavy bare copper earth conductors and panel wire in control rooms
- Farms and smallholdings: farms earth pump panels, cold rooms and steel sheds with bare copper and green/yellow wire
- Homeowners: homeowners' electricians bond geysers, metal pipes and earth spikes with green/yellow earth wire
- Solar and backup power: solar installers earth panel frames, mounting rails and inverters with green/yellow wire
- Municipal and public works: municipal kiosks, streetlight poles and pump stations rely on solid copper earthing
