APC / Schneider Symmetra PX three-phase UPS
The APC Symmetra PX is a modular, scalable three-phase UPS with N+1 power modules rated 10 to 40 kW in the 208 V frames, and 250 or 500 kW in the large frames.
APC Symmetra PX: key facts
On the 250 and 500 kW frames, Schneider's firmware flags power modules at the end of their 10-year life cycle because fans, capacitors and power supplies wear; the module keeps running, and firmware 4.39 or later turns the warning into an information notice.

Is the APC Symmetra PX discontinued? What replaces it?
Not entirely. Schneider Electric's Canadian site still lists the 10 to 40 kW 208 V Symmetra PX models (for example SY40K40F) without a discontinuation notice. The large frames are discontinued: the 150 kW scalable to 250 kW model (SY150K250D) shows 'Discontinued on: Dec 31, 2025' and is replaced by a Galaxy VX 500 kVA, and the 500 kW model (SY500K500D) points to a Galaxy VX 625 kVA. See the APC Galaxy VX page.
Units already installed keep working after the manufacturer's cut-off; what changes is parts and factory support. We maintain discontinued units and plan the replacement when it makes sense. How to plan the replacement of a discontinued three-phase UPS.
APC Symmetra PX three-phase UPS explained
2:12. The APC Symmetra PX is Schneider Electric's modular, scalable three-phase UPS with redundant power modules, sold from 10 to 40 kW in 208 V frames and at 250 or 500 kW in large frames. This video covers the hot-swappable battery units, the 10-year module life alarm, and the split status: 208 V frames still listed, large frames discontinued to the Galaxy VX.

0:00 What is the APC Symmetra PX? What is the APC Symmetra PX? It is Schneider Electric's modular, scalable three-phase UPS with redundant power modules, sold from 10 to 40 kilowatts in the 208 volt frames, and at 250 or 500 kilowatts in the large frames.
0:17 What does modular mean here? What does modular mean here? The frame is scalable, and the power modules are redundant, so capacity and serviceability are designed around the module: a module is the unit you add and the unit you service.
0:30 Which batteries does it take? Which batteries does it take? Hot-swappable battery units: the SYBTU1-PLP, and the high-performance SYBTU2-PLP. A battery swap does not bring the UPS down.
0:42 What wears out? What wears out? On the 250 and 500 kilowatt frames, Schneider's firmware flags the power modules at the end of a ten-year life cycle, because fans, capacitors and power supplies age. The alarm is the maker telling you the modules have a clock.
0:59 And the large frames? And the large frames? The 150 kilowatt scalable to 250 shows discontinued on December 31, 2025, and Schneider points it to a Galaxy VX 500 kVA. The 500 kilowatt model points to a Galaxy VX 625 kVA.
1:18 And the 208 volt frames? And the 208 volt frames? The 10 to 40 kilowatt models are still listed in Canada without a discontinuation notice, for example the SY40K40F.
1:29 Is it current? Is it current? Partly, and this is the part that catches owners. The 208 volt frames are still listed. The large frames are gone, and the named path is the Galaxy VX.
1:40 Who is it for, today? Who is it for, today? Sites still running the 208 volt frames, which Schneider Electric still lists, and sites planning the move from a large frame to the Galaxy VX, in the 10 to 40 kilowatt band or on the move path. If you are sizing either path, request a quote at threephaseups.ca.
