Generators in Johannesburg
Johannesburg households learnt about generators the hard way. Long stretches of load-shedding, followed by failing substations and cable theft in suburbs like Melville, Westdene and parts of Soweto, left many streets without power for days at a time. Today the city runs everything from portable inverter units in townhouses to large diesel gensets with automatic transfer switches in office blocks, clinics and apartment buildings. At around 1,750 metres the thin air cuts engine output noticeably, so undersized sets struggle on hot afternoons. Mine dumps and dry winters add fine dust. Repairs, services and ATS installs are handled by technicians from City Deep and Industria.
Typical three phase generators requests in the area come from:
- Homes: a large house on a three phase supply with a pool pump, borehole and heat pumps
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a canopied genset backing up air conditioning, lifts and a commercial kitchen
- Estates and complexes: a body corporate set running the gate, booster pumps, lifts and common lighting
- Clinics, schools and towers: standby power for a clinic, school, water pump station or cell tower
- Factories, mines and sites: prime or standby power for compressors, welders, conveyors and production lines
- Lodges, venues and events: a silent three phase set keeping a lodge kitchen, laundry and pumps running
Local conditions in Johannesburg
The main thing that wears out generators in Johannesburg is thin air and mine dump dust, so ask for a set sized with altitude derating and heavy-duty air filters. A set that is looked after for local conditions starts first time when the power goes off.
At about 1 750 m above sea level, expect roughly 9% less output than the nameplate rating from a naturally aspirated engine, and summer highs around 26 °C. Three Phase Generators usually covers 10 to 500 kVA, diesel.
What to include in your request
- List your three phase motors and their kW ratings
- Say whether it is standby or prime (continuous) power
- Give your main breaker size and supply type
- Mention the site altitude, dust or coastal exposure
- Ask for installation, ATS and CoC on the same quote
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
