General-purpose UPS

APC by Schneider Electric has announced the MGE Galaxy 3500, a three-phase, general-purpose uninterruptible power supply.

It is suitable for a wide range of applications in the 10-40 kVA segment.

Relying on hot-swappable batteries, the unit results in reduced downtime and increased runtime scalability for electrical rooms.

The double conversion online topology, critical for process control, industrial, electrical room and automation control applications, delivers zero transfer time and good regulation. The parallel capability, up to four units, for either capacity or re-redundancy delivers flexibility.

It features easily replaceable air filters and efficiency, up to 96%.

Additional features include: unique slide in/out concept that makes it easy to replace the entire module; maintenance bypass switch that is accessible from the front of the unit; dual mains input/output that allows for connection to two separate power inputs for increased availability; busbar connections for easy connection to extended run battery cabinets; soft generator walk-in that allows use of a smaller generator (1.5 x UPS kVA rating); interface that includes a backlit display, independent status lights and navigation keys; network management card that allows for remote management by connecting directly to the network via a web browser and environmental monitoring.
