What Makes Steel “Mild” – Ironing Out Your Metal Material Options
Looking through a manufacturer’s online enclosure catalog recently, I
came across a term I hadn’t heard before. Now, I’m not a contractor, so I
likely haven’t seen as many of these listings as you might have. But I
am a journalist who has covered the construction industry for several
decades, and the term “mild steel” stuck out to me when it showed up as a
material option for the maker’s broad range of enclosure offerings.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – No Battery, Maintenance-Free
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) uses 24VDC input/output to
provide 35W of power and 5 to 15 minutes Hold Time and is designed for
critical networking and control applications such as industrial managed
switches and human machine interfaces (HMI’s). The Industrial UPS uses
Ultracapacitors instead of batteries, eliminating the #1 cause of
conventional UPS failures, which lowers the risk of downtime - and
there’s no need for costly and time consuming maintenance.
