APC / Schneider · Galaxy VSAPC / Schneider Galaxy VS Three-Phase UPS

Overview

The APC / Schneider Galaxy VS is a three-phase UPS series for critical loads, data centres, healthcare, industrial and infrastructure. We specify the right configuration from the Galaxy VS line, supply it, and install it turnkey across Canada. We carry every major brand, so we can compare the Galaxy VS against the alternatives on price, footprint and lead time.

Specifications

eConversion efficiency & smart battery

The Galaxy VS is a modular three-phase UPS for edge, small and medium data centres, roughly 10 to 150 kW depending on voltage. Since 2022 the whole Galaxy V-Series ships with eConversion as the factory-default mode, running at up to 99% efficiency, about a three-fold cut in UPS electricity loss, while still certified to IEC 62040-3 Class 1, the same protection level as double conversion. eConversion keeps the inverter doing power-factor correction and harmonic filtering, with a patented zero-break transfer, so the efficiency gain costs nothing in protection. On the 10 to 100 kW models, internal smart battery modules give a self-contained UPS-plus-battery cabinet, and an N+1 internal-battery arrangement raises availability substantially.

Sizing, redundancy and custom builds

We engineer the solution: load and growth analysis, redundancy (N, N+1, 2N), runtime and battery sizing, paralleling and switchgear, and custom configurations where the standard catalogue doesn't fit. Because we supply every major brand, the Galaxy VS is one option we weigh on its merits, not the only answer.

Supply, install and lifecycle

We deliver, install and commission the system on site (coordinated with your electrical contractor), then keep it running with preventive maintenance, battery replacement and emergency support, including Galaxy VS units that are out of warranty or discontinued by the manufacturer.

Common questions

Can you replace an old or discontinued unit with a different brand?

Yes, that's most of what we do. Send the model and part number you have (any brand, even end-of-life) and we cross-reference an equivalent that matches the load and footprint. If the original is back-ordered, we propose an in-stock unit that ships sooner.

Do you replace just the batteries, or the whole UPS?

Whichever is the better value. A battery replacement (sometimes with an added cabinet for more runtime) often restores full protection at a fraction of a new system. We need your exact model and variant to quote it accurately.

What are the lead times?

It depends on the model and stock. When the original has a long lead time, we usually propose an equivalent we can ship sooner so the load isn't left exposed. Tell us your timeline in the quote.

Do you install it, and across Canada?

Yes, we supply, install and commission the system anywhere in Canada, coordinated with your electrician, and maintain it afterward: preventive maintenance, batteries, emergency support and remote monitoring, on a single unit or a multi-site fleet.

Can you quote a complete system, not just the UPS?

Yes, UPS, power distribution, racks, batteries and the installation in one quote, coordinated with your electrical contractor.
