APC by Schneider Electric Galaxy VS 100kVA Compact UPS

Experience enterprise-grade power protection with a compact footprint. The APC Galaxy VS is a highly efficient, modular, 3-phase UPS designed for edge deployments, small-to-medium data centers, and other business-critical applications. With scalable capacity from 20 to 150 kW in 480 V configurations, 10 to 150 kW at 400 V, and 10 to 75 kW at 208 V, Galaxy VS delivers flexible power protection that grows with your IT demand while maximizing uptime, reducing energy use, and simplifying deployment.

• Modular and scalable architecture: The Galaxy VS employs modular power modules and battery cabinets that can be added or swapped without disrupting operations. This enables you to expand from a compact footprint to full-scale data center protection as your workloads grow, while preserving uptime through N+1 redundancy options. Designed for edge, micro, and mid-size deployments, it supports a seamless path from initial rollout to expanding capacity as your IT footprint expands.
• High efficiency across load ranges: Engineered for energy savings, Galaxy VS maintains high efficiency from light loads to peak capacity, reducing both electricity consumption and cooling load. This translates into lower total cost of ownership and a smaller environmental footprint, which is increasingly important for modern IT environments and sustainability goals. The compact, dense design also frees valuable floor space and reduces rack-level heat output.
• Rapid deployment and easy maintenance: Galaxy VS is built for fast, predictable deployments with factory-tested electrical and mechanical interfaces. Its hot-swappable modules and battery cabinets minimize maintenance windows, enabling service teams to replace components quickly with minimal downtime. Centralized monitoring and remote management capabilities streamline operations, simplify firmware updates, and improve incident response times.
• Robust protection and reliability: This UPS delivers comprehensive power conditioning, surge and fault protection, and advanced battery management to extend the life of critical loads. Its fault-tolerant design, monitoring alerts, and safe bypass capabilities help ensure uninterrupted operation during irregular power events, while protective features guard IT equipment against surges, transients, and brownouts.
• Versatile use cases for critical workloads: Whether protecting edge compute nodes, telecom equipment, retail IT closets, or manufacturing floor controllers, Galaxy VS provides scalable UPS protection tailored to your environment. It supports multiple configurations and is compatible with Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT for holistic power management, enabling proactive maintenance and optimized uptime for business-critical applications.

How to Install APC Galaxy VS 100kVA Compact UPS

• Plan the installation space: Identify a dedicated cabinet or rack with adequate ventilation, clearance for maintenance, and easy access to electrical connections. Confirm alignment with local electrical codes, safety procedures, and mounting standards for three-phase UPS systems.
• Prepare and mount modular components: Unpack and inspect power modules and battery cabinets. Mount them in compatible racks or enclosures, ensuring secure attachment and proper cable routing. Leave space for airflow and service accessibility, and connect to appropriate distribution and busbar systems as specified by the installation guide.
• Make electrical connections: Connect three-phase input power through a dedicated breaker and route the UPS output to critical IT loads. Install bypass paths as required and verify grounding and bonding to ensure safety and compliance. Route communication cables to the management interface for monitoring and alerts.
• Configure management and monitoring: Set up the UPS management interface or EcoStruxure IT integration, configure input voltages and protection thresholds, set battery recharge policies, and tailor notification preferences for events such as faults, temperature excursions, or battery health concerns.
• Commission and validate performance: Power up the system and perform functional tests, including transfer between input and bypass, battery health checks, and load testing. Verify efficiency under representative workloads, confirm redundancy paths, and document test results for auditability and maintenance planning.
