Key Features

Everything you need in one device

🏗️

Scalable from 500 to 1500 kVA

Galaxy VX is available in six power ratings from 500 kVA to 1500 kVA. Modular parallel architecture allows multiple units to operate as a single logical UPS — N+1 redundancy provides complete failover for the full system, or 2N provides fully isolated power paths for tier 4 data centres.

96.8% Efficiency — Lower PUE

Galaxy VX achieves 96.8% efficiency in online double-conversion mode. In a 1 MW UPS installation, the difference between 94% and 96.8% efficiency is approximately 28kW of continuous power loss reduction — saving significant costs and improving data centre PUE.

🔌

IGBT Rectifier — Generator Friendly

The IGBT-based active rectifier delivers low Total Harmonic Distortion on the input — reducing reactive current draw on generators and building transformers. Critical for data centres with diesel generator backup where high-THD UPS loads cause generator derating.

🔋

Flexible Battery Architecture

Galaxy VX supports compact internal string arrangements through to multiple external battery cabinets. VRLA and lithium-ion battery cabinets are available. Battery configuration can be adjusted post-installation as runtime requirements evolve.

☁️

EcoStruxure IT Full Integration

Galaxy VX integrates natively with Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT DCIM — providing real-time power chain visibility from utility input through UPS, PDU, and server PSU. AI-driven capacity planning, fault prediction, and energy optimisation.

🔧

Maintenance Bypass & Hot Swap

Integrated static bypass and optional maintenance bypass cabinet allow UPS bypass without interrupting critical load. Combined with parallel redundancy, this enables zero-downtime UPS maintenance.

About the APC Galaxy VX

The APC Galaxy VX is Schneider Electric's primary 3-phase data centre UPS platform for medium-to-large data centres requiring 500 kVA to 1500 kVA. With online double-conversion topology, IGBT-based active rectifier, and up to 96.8% efficiency, the Galaxy VX provides the highest levels of power quality and industry-leading energy efficiency simultaneously.

The parallel redundancy architecture (up to 6 units) enables N+1 redundancy without doubling infrastructure, or 2N configurations with fully isolated power paths for tier 4 requirements. Each Galaxy VX unit in a parallel system shares load equally and provides automatic failover with no manual intervention required.

EcoStruxure IT integration connects Galaxy VX to PDU, cooling, and building management data for complete power chain visibility — increasingly important for organisations with sustainability reporting requirements, where precise power consumption from the UPS layer is required for Scope 2 carbon accounting and PUE reporting.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🏢

Enterprise & Colocation Data Centres

Galaxy VX is the standard choice for enterprise data centres with 500kW–1.5MW IT load — providing N+1 or 2N parallel redundancy that meets Uptime Institute Tier III and Tier IV requirements.

🏦

Financial & Critical Infrastructure

Online double-conversion with zero transfer time and parallel 2N redundancy provides the availability required by financial trading floors, stock exchanges, and mission-critical government infrastructure.

⚕️

Healthcare Data Centres

NHS data centres require continuous uninterruptible power with maintenance capability. Galaxy VX parallel architecture enables maintenance without downtime for EPR and clinical systems.

🌿

Sustainable Data Centre Operations

96.8% efficiency and EcoStruxure IT integration enable precise PUE measurement — supporting LEED, BREEAM, and EU Energy Efficiency Directive compliance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the maximum power from Galaxy VX?

The largest Galaxy VX model is 1500 kVA. Up to 6 units can be paralleled for a maximum of 9000 kVA (9 MW). For very large installations, the APC Symmetra MW platform is available.

Q. Is Galaxy VX generator compatible?

Yes — the IGBT-based active rectifier with low input THD (<3% at full load) is designed for generator compatibility, preventing generator derating and enabling the generator to reach nameplate capacity.
