Mining sites have their own challenges. Equipment loads can change throughout the day, operating conditions can be demanding, some processes cannot afford interruptions, and access to maintenance and technical support may be limited.
That means the power solution must be specified around the operation, based on real-world conditions on the ground.
A practical guide for businesses and fleet operators considering fast or high-power EV charging infrastructure, covering power supply, grid capacity, load management, and what to ask before you commit.
Nampo Harvest Day 2026 is done and dusted – and what a good four days it was. From 12 to 15 May, the SSPD team was on the ground in Bothaville for one of Africa’s most significant agricultural expos, and…
Every gate motor, access control system, alarm panel, and emergency lighting circuit has one thing in common: it relies on a battery to function. For security installers and companies specifying these systems, the battery is often the component that determines…
In mining operations, power continuity is not only about productivity. It is about safety, ventilation integrity, dewatering capability, communication systems, and control stability. A power interruption underground or on a remote surface operation does not simply stop production. It can…
Reliable power depends on more than a well-sized generator. It requires high-quality spares that keep systems running at peak performance, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of critical equipment. Our Spares Department plays a central role in supporting Diesel, Gas,…
As electric mobility continues to grow across South Africa, the demand for reliable, efficient, and future-ready charging infrastructure is rapidly increasing. ABB’s EV charging solutions are engineered to support this transition – helping businesses, municipalities, and property owners meet sustainability…
In modern power generation, precision and stability are everything. That’s why Mecc Alte has developed its Digital Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) – designed to deliver advanced control, improved performance, and simplified integration. Unlike traditional analogue AVRs, Mecc Alte’s digital range…
Generators are built to be tough – but like any hardworking machine, they need regular care to keep running efficiently and reliably. Whether you’re using your generator for prime power or backup support, knowing when to service it can save…
As African cities rapidly expand, the need for stable, reliable power has never been greater. Urban centres like Harare, Lagos, Nairobi, and Johannesburg are experiencing tremendous growth—but their infrastructure isn’t always keeping up. Power outages, load-shedding, and aging electrical grids…
