Common questions
Power surges when electricity is restored — not the outage itself — are the leading cause of server failure. The surge on restoration can be many times normal voltage and kills hard drives, power supplies and network equipment.
It depends on your equipment load. We calculate the exact VA rating required based on your server, switches and storage. An undersized UPS is dangerous. We always over-specify slightly for safety.
Yes. An LTE/4G failover router automatically switches to mobile data when your fibre drops during load shedding. Your staff can continue working.
Through RCE Electric, we install to SANS 10142 standard with a Certificate of Compliance where required. This is important for insurance and building management purposes.
