Generators in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in a subtropical valley of mango, avocado, citrus and banana farms, with tea estates and forestry higher up towards Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg. Packhouses and cold stores cannot lose power during harvest, so farms run large standby sets, and irrigation pumps hang off long rural lines that storms and falling trees often bring down. Lodges and guesthouses in the mountains depend on generators to keep guests comfortable. Heat and heavy humidity make the region hard on equipment: condensation corrodes terminals and alternator windings, and mould grows in idle canopies. Local technicians do most services and repairs, and parts arrive from Polokwane or Gauteng within a day or two.
Typical automatic transfer switch requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: automatic start for borehole, dairy and cold room loads when the rural line trips
- Lodges, venues and events: unattended changeover at lodges and guesthouses so guests barely notice an outage
- Homes: a single phase ATS that starts the standby set during load-shedding while you are out
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a three phase ATS that keeps tills, servers and fridges on supply within seconds
- Clinics, schools and towers: fast, logged transfer for clinics, cell towers and pump stations that cannot stop
Local conditions in Tzaneen
The main thing that wears out generators in Tzaneen is humidity and condensation, so ask for anti-condensation heater, sealed control panel and regular exercise runs. A set that is looked after for local conditions starts first time when the power goes off.
At about 700 m above sea level there is no real altitude derating, but summer highs around 30 °C call for good airflow around the set. Automatic Transfer Switch usually covers 5 to 1,000 kVA, diesel, petrol or LPG with electric start.
What to include in your request
- Give the generator kVA and whether it has electric start
- Say whether the supply is single or three phase
- Note the main breaker size on the board
- Mention any inverter or solar system already fitted
- Send a photo of the distribution board
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
