Modular design allows for capacity expansion to suit your environment
50% smaller than other UPS products, occupying ^8m2
Live swap function allows replacement during use


On the 29th, Schneider Electric unveiled the " Galaxy VL ," an expanded capacity model of its 20-150kW "Galaxy VS" three-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Adopting a scalable modular architecture, it can expand power capacity from 200kW to 500kW (400·480V), supporting mid- to large-scale or edge data centers, as well as commercial and industrial facilities.

The Galaxy VL's compact design makes it 50% smaller than other UPS models, which occupy an average of ^8m2 . Furthermore, its lithium-ion battery design saves up to 70% of total space compared to other UPSs that use VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries.

Live Swap functionality provides administrators with safety when adding or replacing power modules while the machine is operating. Power remains continuous while modules are inserted or removed from low-voltage electrical equipment, such as UPSs and PDUs. Administrators do not need to maintain bypass or switch to battery operation while inserting or removing power modules with the live swap feature.

When operated in Schneider Electric's proprietary "ECOnversion" mode, it delivers up to 99% efficiency, providing a return on investment in energy savings within two years. In double conversion mode, it delivers up to 97% efficiency. Compared to VRLA battery-powered UPSs, it reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) by approximately 50%.

Data center operators can benefit from real-time monitoring and remote support services with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IT. This allows them to immediately detect and respond to equipment anomalies, regardless of time or location.

“Galaxy VL is a product that provides the best performance and targets sustainability to meet the requirements of modern data centers,” said Jiwoong Kwon, head of Schneider Electric’s Secure Power division. “It will be a product that secures a market gap in the mid-tier segment.”
