A study of the variation of electric distance and electric strength with the type of voltage stress and portion of the gap covered by flames.
(2019)South Africa has a large network of high voltage substations and transmission lines (over 28 000 kilometers) across the country designed to supply power to households, industry and businesses, railways and mines. This ... -
Development of updated design norms for soil and water conservation structures in the sugar industry of South Africa.
(2020)Sugarcane in South Africa is grown on wide-ranging soils, sometimes in non-ideal climates and on steep topographies where soils are vulnerable to erosion. A consequence of unsustainable soil loss is reduction in field ... -
Mitigation for floating neutral in distribution systems.
(2019)The rollout of electrification programme in deep rural communities has significantly improved the quality of life for people of South Africa, some who never anticipated that they would have access to electricity. Most rural ... -
Flood disaster preparedness and impacts on rural households: a comparative study of Mwandi District of Zambia and Eastern Zambezi Region of Namibia.
(2019)The Zambezi Basin is considered vulnerable to climate variability as evidenced by the recurrent floods. The increased occurrence and severity of floods in recent years in areas previously not flooded has inundated parts ...
