Schneider Galaxy VL 250kW Modular UPS (380-480V) | Scalable Online UPS with Seismic Ground Anchors

The Schneider Galaxy VL 250kW is a high-density, modular, and scalable 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) specifically engineered for critical commercial and industrial (C&I) environments. This 250kW system utilizes a 50kW modular architecture, allowing for seamless “pay-as-you-grow” scalability while maintaining an industry-leading 0.8m² footprint. Standardly equipped with heavy-duty casters for easy deployment and anti-seismic ground anchors for superior stability, the Galaxy VL 250kW combines Schneider’s patented ECOnversion™ technology (99% efficiency) with Live Swap™ capability to ensure maximum uptime, personnel safety, and the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in its class.

Key Functions and Features

Live Swap™ (Online Plug-and-Play): Allows the safe addition, removal, or replacement of 50kW power modules while the UPS remains in online double-conversion mode, ensuring zero downtime and enhanced technician safety (UL Certified).

Ultra-High ECOnversion™ Efficiency: Achieves up to 99% efficiency without compromising power quality, and 97% efficiency in online double-conversion mode, significantly lowering energy consumption.

Seismic Rated Stability: Pre-equipped with anti-seismic ground anchors to meet stringent building codes for industrial and earthquake-prone areas, ensuring equipment remains operational during seismic events.

Extreme Space Savings: Its ultra-compact design requires only 0.8 m² of floor space, reducing the footprint by over 50% compared to industry averages for modular UPS systems of this capacity.

Unity Power Factor (PF=1): Maximizes power density by delivering 250kW of real power, perfectly matching the requirements of modern high-density IT and industrial loads.

Lithium-ion Battery Compatible: Seamlessly integrates with Schneider Electric’s Lithium-ion battery solutions, reducing weight, saving up to 70% of battery space, and extending service life.

Smart Overload Testing (SPoT): Enables full-load UPS testing on-site without requiring a dedicated load bank, reducing commissioning time and risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the benefit of the Seismic Ground Anchors on the 250kW model?

A: These anchors secure the UPS cabinet to the floor, preventing movement during seismic activity. This is a critical requirement for many industrial facilities and commercial buildings to comply with safety codes and ensure continuous operation during emergencies.

Q2: Can I upgrade the 250kW system to 500kW later?

A: Yes. The Galaxy VL cabinet is designed for expansion. You can add 50kW modules via Live Swap™ as your power demand grows, up to the cabinet’s maximum capacity (500kW).

Q3: How does Live Swap™ improve safety?

A: Schneider’s Live Swap™ technology is designed to be touch-safe. It minimizes the risk of arc flash and electric shock during module insertion or removal, even while the UPS is providing protected power to the load.

Q4: Is this 250kW UPS easy to move?

A: Yes, it is standardly equipped with heavy-duty casters, allowing for easy positioning during installation before the seismic anchors are permanently fixed.

Q5: Does ECOnversion™ mode compromise power quality?

A: No. ECOnversion™ provides Class 1 power protection (per IEC 62040-3) with input power factor correction and active filtering, ensuring your load is fully protected while achieving 99% efficiency.
