Johannesburg, South Africa - Robin Subaru generators, distributed by Engines & Forestry division from Goscor Pty Ltd, reach record sales during the current blackout in Cape Town South Africa.
March 9, 2006 (Press Release) --
Cape Town South Africa has been suffering a power blackout since 18 February 2006. The cause of the blackout is not quite clear. Premier Ebrahim Rasool expressed alarm and concern about the reparation delays at Koeberg, Cape Town'. Eskom Chief Executive Thulani Gcabashe and Public Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin have confirmed that the damage to Unit 1 was the subject of a criminal investigation.
Extensive load shedding in Cape Town Metro resulted in a complete CBD blackout by Tuesday 21 February 2006. Hope has been expressed that the city´s power will be back by the weekend of 25 January 2006.
Eskom could offer no assurances that blackouts would not occur during the winter. Cape Town citizens are flocking to their nearest outdoor shops to stock up on any form of light and electricity generating equipment - from gas lamps, to camping gear.
Engines and Forestry division at Goscor (Pty) Limited also reported record sales of Robin Subaru generators suitable for household use, and an increase in production has been ordered in light of seasonal changes.
Users that are familiar with the Amps/phase required could use simple formulas to calculate the kVA required in order to supply sufficient power based on their needs and purchase the correct generator.
Robin Subaru generators are known for their extremely quiet operation and economical fuel consumption, with high quality output with continuous operating hours of up to 7 hours at 50hz and 8 hours at 60hz depending on the generator used.
New generation inverter technology generators prove to be extremely popular. These generators include a power saving mode, are capable of delivering increased power on demand and are also equipped with a built in inverter circuit that protects sensitive electronics.
Justin Kitson at Goscor also provided the following advice to business owners and home users: " If you need to use sensitive equipment such as computers it is advisable to use a generator fitted with an AVR unit or one that uses inverter technology. What these units do, is to keep the voltage coming through at a constant level preventing any spiking. Spiking takes place when the voltage increases or decreases due to fluctuations in the engines revs. Generators such as the Robin R 1700i use inverter technology which eliminates spiking making it ideal for users requiring generators to be used for sensitive equipment."
