A new compact, modular, scalable, and redundant 500 kW to 1 250 kW 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that includes enhanced cybersecurity, software, and safety features is now available. 

The unit is said to offer next-generation power protection for critical infrastructure environments, including AI-ready data centres, semiconductors, and commercial and industrial manufacturing facilities. 

Measuring 1.2 m² with a power density of up to 1 042 kW/m², Schneider Electric’s Galaxy VXL UPS can power up to 1.25 MW in one frame and up to 5 MW with 4 units running in parallel. It is designed to maximizes uptime and availability for the most energy-intensive infrastructure systems, increasing both operational and energy efficiencies to help minimise total cost of ownership.

Through its patented operating technologies, the company says its UPS can deliver up to 99% in high-efficiency eConversion mode, and up to 97.5% efficiency in double conversion mode, providing Class-1 power protection with energy reduction, while lowering the UPS’s carbon emissions by a factor of two.

With a 52% smaller footprint than the industry average, the unit’s scalable, modular design also enables N+1 levels of redundancy to increase the system’s level of availability by a factor of 10. The modular architecture allows customers to reduce capital expenditure by purchasing power modules as demands grow.

The Galaxy VXL is compatible with both lithium-ion and valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, and with its live swap function, allows for greater uptime, availability, and easier serviceability, offering highly resilient, flexible, and predictable runtimes for data centre, IT, and critical electrical loads. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT software enables remote and enhanced security and ethernet connections, certified to IEC 62443-4-2 security standards.
