Cabling conditions in Richards Bay

Richards Bay is an industrial port town built around heavy users of electricity. An aluminium smelter, a deep-water coal terminal, mineral sands operations and paper and chemical plants all need large medium-voltage and armoured cable, cable tray and glands rated for harsh, dusty and corrosive conditions. Salt air from the bay and warm, humid weather attack exposed terminations, while sandy coastal soils make trenching straightforward but require good bedding. Contractors and plant staff live in Meerensee, Arboretum and nearby Empangeni, where homes and complexes need rewiring, solar and backup systems. Sugar-cane farms inland use long feeds to irrigation pumps.

Typical solar cable requests in the area come from:

Factories and workshops: factories use larger solar cable sizes on big warehouse roof arrays and combiner boxes
Mines and quarries: mines use solar cable on ground-mounted arrays supplying offices and remote sites
Coastal properties: coastal installs use tinned-copper solar cable and sealed connectors against salt corrosion
Homeowners: homeowners wire rooftop panels to a hybrid inverter to ride through load-shedding
Farms and smallholdings: farms wire solar panels to borehole pumps and off-grid farmhouse systems
