Maximize availability and sustainability. Minimize total cost of ownership. Galaxy VL is a highly efficient, compact, modular, and scalable 200–500 kW (400/480V) 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) available worldwide that delivers top performance for medium, large, and edge data centers, as well as critical infrastructure in commercial and industrial facilities.

Its industry-leading, compact, high-density technology, and fault-tolerant architecture maximize availability, operational efficiency, and critical load protection while minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO). Thanks to patented technologies, this UPS delivers up to 99% efficiency in eConversion mode and up to 97% efficiency in double conversion mode.

Galaxy VL’s scalability enables you to pay-as-you grow, reducing both capital investment and TCO. You can buy the power modules you need up-front, and enjoy optimized operating efficiency, then add power modules with Live Swap as demand grows. The modular design also enables N+1 internal redundancy, which multiplies by 10 the system’s availability with no extra footprint.

Galaxy VL is compatible with Lithium-ion batteries. With our Galaxy Lithium-ion battery solutions, classic VRLA, or NiCad batteries, critical loads have highly predictable runtimes.

Galaxy VL is EcoStruxure™ connected to give you peace of mind anytime, anywhere. Start-up service is included to optimize your system’s performance, quality, and safety. With Live Swap, modular design, and superior reliability, Galaxy VL is the ideal backbone for your critical infrastructure.

Powering the AI revolution with fault-tolerant UPS infrastructure The high-density requirements of AI workloads are pressuring data center and colocation operators and hyperscalers to expand fast. As operators look for ways to meet demand, one area they must pay close attention to is power protection infrastructure. Schneider Electric leads the way in providing AI-tolerant UPSs to help safeguard multi-million-dollar AI investments.

Our Galaxy VL 200-500 kW UPS solution is an ideal choice for AI infrastructure • Proven performance: Galaxy VL is rigorously tested for next-generation AI compute demands, ensuring they can

support dramatic, rapid power load fluctuations without interruption. • Scalability and flexibility: A high-density, modular design enables power protection infrastructure to grow alongside AI

infrastructure, whether in data centers, colocation facilities, or hyperscale sites. • Efficiency and sustainability: Galaxy VL is highly efficient, enabling businesses to leverage their AI investments while
