APC intros MGE Galaxy 7000 offering compact and high efficiency UPS

BANGALORE, INDIA: The introduction of MGE Galaxy 7000 offers new levels of high efficiency power protection for IT and other mission critical equipment. Its digital design coupled with a comprehensive range of options enables the new UPS to be fully adapted for use in a range of applications from large data centres to industrial and manufacturing operations.

In data centre applications, the MGE Galaxy 7000 meets the combined need for high levels of power availability and runtime in a small footprint. In standard form, the new UPS as unitary can support a load from 250 kVA to 500kVA and provide up to two hours autonomy in the event of a mains power failure.

Its compact size, back to back or back to wall installation enables more room to be utilised for other equipments in the technical room than traditional UPS systems. What’s more, the UPS can be upgraded to ensure available and secure power infrastructure for current as well as future demands.

At the same time, MGE Galaxy 7000 boasts a 94.5 percent efficiency rating in double conversion mode (up to 97 percent in optional economy mode) and therefore enables customers to reduce energy wastage as well as operating expenses. The MGE Galaxy 7000 will therefore be of equal interest to organisations with an interest in “greening” their power infrastructure as well as those that are simply cost conscious.

“While energy efficiency is the need of the hour, our customers also want cost effective, adaptable solutions to address their critical power needs for assured business continuity.

APC by Schneider Electric is committed to making energy safe, reliable and efficient. The new Galaxy 7000 offers an energy efficient IGBT rectifier and a rating as high as 500kVA. This will help meet high standards of efficiency required by most mission critical equipments,” said Shrinivas Chebbi, CGM & President - India, APC by Schneider Electric.

"The new MGE Galaxy 7000 also offers redundancy options to assure our customers of highest level of power protection," he added.

Standard features include a new and unique transformer less UPS topology, built in static switch and maintenance by-pass, plus an IGBT rectifier with power factor correction for low input current total harmonic distortion.

MGE Galaxy 7000 also features cold start, soft start, walk-in charger and inrush current limit for compatibility with generator sets. The full redundancy of its cooling system provides a high level of reliability. The new UPS also supports modular paralleling for power upgrades or additional redundancy, and can be incorporated into a wide variety of high availability architectures.

Its 0,9 output power factor provides more available kW to be fully compliant with the latest power factor corrected IT loads.

The MGE Galaxy 7000 has been designed for ease of installation as well as maintenance. All connectors and switches are either incorporated or accessible from the front of the new system and therefore no access is required via side or rear panels either during installation or operation. The MGE Galaxy 7000 is also supplied ready for connection to all standard earthing arrangements.

To ensure available runtime and maximise battery life, MGE Galaxy 7000 Lifecycle Monitoring incorporates Digibat programmable battery monitoring to automatically test battery levels at specified intervals, without the need to discharge the batteries. This feature provides a realistic assessment of available power back-up and battery life expectancy whilst reducing ongoing maintenance costs.

As a further option, the system may be specified with Cellwatch or B2000, utilities which provide continuous check for each of the battery block. Using trend curves, these systems provide an early warning system against the emergence of battery failures and promote proactive maintenance for enhanced system uptime.

For the highest levels of manageability, the MGE Galaxy 7000 is fully compatible with APC remote management tools and can be easily monitored and controlled from anywhere on the network.

In addition to the Ethernet, it is also compatible with other communications protocols including J-Bus/Mod-Bus and relay contacts. A high definition front panel display, with intuitive man-machine graphical interface, ensures that the UPS can be managed locally, safely and effectively.
