APC announce new Galaxy VX UPS range
Earlier this month Schneider Electric announced a new addition to the APC family of 3 phase UPS. The APC Galaxy VX UPS, which will be available in North America immediately, is described as “A highly efficient, easy to deploy, compact three-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with flexible operating modes for large facilities, data centers and business-critical applications.”
The Galaxy VX boasts 3 operating modes:
- Double Conversion Mode: Through highly efficient Double Conversion Mode, Galaxy VX reduces switching losses using a four-level conversion technology. The reduced switching stress offers greater reliability and reduction in failure rate.
- Eco Mode: Galaxy VX offers a traditional economy mode, which delivers up to 99 percent efficiency.
- ECOnversion Mode: With this new operating mode, Galaxy VX offers a hybrid between Eco Mode and Double Conversion Mode. ECOnversion delivers double conversion performance with up to 99 percent efficiency.
The APC Galaxy VX UPS will be available from 500kVA to 750kVA with N+1 redundancy, power and battery can be scaled up as the load increases, allowing for right sizing and pay-as-you grow scalability with easy deployment of additional power.
It is not yet known when the Galaxy VX will be available to ship in the UK but we will keep you posted. In the mean time if you’re looking for a data centre uninterruptible power supply take a look at what else we have on offer here or contact a member of our sales team today.
We have 9 UK data centres and Source UPS are our preferred supplier for infrastructure. Their advice is always valuable and well considered. I would strongly recommend Source UPS.
