Schneider launches Galaxy VXL , 500-1250 kW , 400V 3-phase UPS with enhanced cybersecurity

Schneider Electric launched its new Galaxy VXL , compact , modular , scalable , and redundant 500-1250 kW , 400V 3-phase uninterruptible power supply , UPS , complete with enhanced cybersecurity , software , and safety features . At just 1.2m2 with a power density of up to 1042 kW , m2 , Galaxy VXL UPS sets a new benchmark in efficient , sustainable , and advanced UPS technologies .

Available immediately in all 400V IEC regions worldwide , Galaxy VXL delivers the highest levels of power performance for AI , colocation , and hyperscale data centre environments , as well as large-scale critical infrastructure and electrical systems within commercial buildings and industrial facilities .
With its industry-first compact design , highdensity power provision , and AI-load tolerant design , Galaxy VXL maximizes uptime and availability for the most energy-intensive infrastructure systems – being capable of powering up to 1.25 MW in one frame , and up to 5 MW with 4 units running in parallel , while increasing both operational and energy efficiencies to help minimise customers ’ total cost of ownership , TCO . reduce their capital expenditure , CapEx by purchasing power modules as they need them , enjoying optimised energy efficiency , and adding more power modules as demands grow .
Galaxy VXL is also compatible with both Lithium-ion and VRLA 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 .
This is complemented by anywhere remote monitoring via Schneider Electric ’ s EcoStruxure IT software , and enhanced security and ethernet connections , which are certified to the latest IEC 62443-4-2 security standards , providing a completely secure and connected remote management experience .
“ As dependency on large-scale infrastructure systems grows at an unprecedented rate , it is crucial that customers can access the most sustainable , resilient , and efficient technologies to safeguard their critical systems , while minimising their energy and environmental impact ” said Tarunjeet Sarao , SVP Data Centre Systems , Schneider Electric .
“ Our new Galaxy VXL UPS combines a compact , innovative , and highly efficient design with enhanced safety features , providing world-power protection for a wide range of AI , data centre , and industrial applications . This ensures the high-density workloads of the future are supported by unparalleled levels of reliability .”
Schneider Electric ’ s Galaxy VXL UPS has been designed to offer record breaking power densities , and an AI-ready power architecture for the most energy-intensive workloads . For the first time , this new UPS provides customers 1.25mw scalable and modular solution with 125kw , 3U power modules in 1.2m2 footprint , while being capable of supporting up to 1.25 MW of critical load in one frame and up to 5 MW with 4 units in parallel in only 4.8 M2 space . p
Through its patented operating technologies , Galaxy VXL delivers up to 99 % in its highefficiency eConversion mode , and up to 97.5 % efficiency in double conversion mode , providing Class-1 power protection alongside levels of energy reduction , while lowering the UPSs ’ carbon emissions by a factor of two .
With a 52 % smaller footprint compared with the industry average , its scalable , modular design also enables N + 1 levels of redundancy to increase the system ’ s level of availability by a factor of 10 . Further , through its modular architecture , customers can
