APC Galaxy VX is a high-capacity modular three-phase UPS platform built for large data centers, cloud and colocation facilities, and other mission-critical applications. APC describes Galaxy VX as scalable from 500 to 1500 kVA in a single unit.
Supported Galaxy VX configurations emphasize efficiency, scalability and flexible operating modes. APC product data for Galaxy VX also identifies high-efficiency eConversion operation and compatibility with Galaxy lithium-ion battery cabinets on supported systems.
Because Galaxy VX sits at the facility-power level, selection must include the complete architecture: required kW/kVA, redundancy, input/output voltage, battery energy storage, bypass, switchgear coordination, distribution, monitoring and service strategy.
A Galaxy VX system should be sized from the critical load and growth plan, then configured for the required availability target. N+1 designs reserve module capacity for redundancy; other configurations may prioritize capacity or future expansion.
Battery architecture is a major design choice. Where Galaxy lithium-ion cabinets are used, verify the supported cabinet, runtime requirement, quantity, disconnect/breaker arrangement and physical placement for the exact UPS configuration.
Facility teams should also evaluate eConversion or other supported operating modes in the context of efficiency objectives, power quality requirements and site operating practices.
APC positions Galaxy VX for large data centers, cloud and colocation facilities, and mission-critical applications.
Supported Galaxy VX configurations are compatible with Galaxy lithium-ion battery cabinets. The exact battery system must be engineered for the selected UPS.
