Schneider Electric announces
Galaxy VS 3-phase UPS with
internal smart battery modules
S
chneider Electric, a leader in
Digital Transformation of energy
management and automation, has
introduced the first version of Galaxy
VS 3-phase Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) with internal smart battery
modules. Galaxy VS is a highly efficient,
modular, easy-to-deploy three-phase
UPS designed to meet the critical power
requirements of IT, commercial and
industrial facilities.
The new Galaxy VS 10-50 kW with
internal smart battery modules improves
availability with added battery flexibility
and monitoring, redundant battery strings
and self-configuration. It also reduces
risks by ensuring that critical loads are
always protected with highly predictable
runtimes and battery redundancy. It
has a compact footprint optimised
by integrating batteries in the UPS
cabinet, making it ideal for the unique
requirements of Edge Computing and
critical infrastructures.
The Galaxy VS with internal smart battery
modules is available globally, except for
Greater China and Japan.
Depending on power and run time
requirements, two cabinet options are
available offering 10-50 kW (400V),
10-25 kW (208V) and 20-50 kW
(480V). Start-up service is included
to guaranteed optimise system
performance, quality and safety. Galaxy
VS was first introduced in April 2019 for
external batteries supporting 20-100 kW
(400V/480V) and 10-50 kW (208V).
“With its impressive efficiency and
internal smart battery modules along
with being EcoStruxure Ready, the latest
Galaxy VS is an innovative and flexible
choice for end-users, distributors, partners
and integrators in diverse environments,
especially Edge Computing and critical
infrastructures,” said Christopher
Thompson, Vice President, 3 Phase Line of
Business, Schneider Electric.
“By integrating smart features like self-
configuring and temperature monitoring,
this new Galaxy VS is the optimal choice
to achieve increased availability without
sacrificing performance.”
Additional Galaxy VS benefits include:
Footprint savings: Compact design and
full front access for servicing makes it
ideal for confined spaces.
Maximum availability thanks to
modular architecture: Critical system
components built as modules for faster
serviceability and fault tolerance.
Cost savings: Provides up to 99%
efficiency when operated in Schneider
Electric’s patented ECOnversion mode,
allowing users to recover their initial
investment within two to three years
through energy savings (model dependent).
EcoStruxure ready: Makes it easy
to manage with global visibility of
equipment performance and status
supported with a 24x7 expert service
bureau using the next generation
management software, EcoStruxure IT
Expert and EcoStruxure Asset Advisor.
Green Premium certified: Offering
sustainable business performance

Increased uptime and simplified
maintenance: Critical system
components are built as modules with
a fault-tolerant design. This provides
internal redundancy at reduced load
levels and a shorter mean time to repair.
