General-purpose 3-phase UPS

3 March 2010 Power Electronics / Power Management

APC has launched the MGE Galaxy 3500, a three-phase general-purpose uninterruptible power supply (UPS). With an optimised footprint in a sturdy enclosure, the unit is suitable for a wide range of applications in the 10–40 kVA segment – from small data centres and electrical rooms up to highly demanding industrial environments.

Relying on hot-swappable batteries, the MGE Galaxy 3500 results in reduced downtime and increased runtime scalability for IT and electrical room environments. The double conversion on-line topology, critical for process control, industrial, electrical room and automation control applications, delivers zero transfer time and excellent regulation, while the parallel capability – up to four units – for either capacity or redundancy delivers flexibility.

Particularly well adapted to demanding industrial environments, the UPS’s heavy duty design of reinforced steel plates – 2 mm front steel plate and NEMA 12/IP51 top plate – protects it against hard handling, dirt and dripping liquids. In addition, it features easily replaceable air filters that prevent dust and debris from affecting performance.
