APC / Schneider · Galaxy VXAPC / Schneider Galaxy VX Three-Phase UPS

Overview

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

Specifications

Large-scale efficiency & a field result

The Galaxy VX is a modular three-phase UPS for large data centres, cloud and colocation, roughly 500 to 1500 kW, with eConversion and lithium-ion battery options. A published field result: EcoDataCenter in Falun, Sweden runs four Galaxy VX at 1250 kW each with the option to operate at 99% efficiency in eConversion, and reports a facility 1.15 PUE at 2N redundancy with waste heat reused back to the local grid. The freed energy can be diverted to client load. We size, supply, install and maintain the VX at this scale, and weigh it against the alternatives for your load profile and redundancy target.

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 VX 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 VX 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.
