Flexibility
Galaxy 5000 can meet the upgrade needs of sites, in terms of both power increases and different types of
applications, without interrupting operation.
Changes in available power - the initial power rating can be multiplied by four through parallel connection, in
step with the needs of the application.
Tailored batteries (sealed or vented lead acid, Ni-Cad) and backup times from 5 minutes to 4 hours, fast
recharging.
Many possible architectures through parallel connection of up to four modular units, isolated redundancy,
redundant distribution with an STS (static transfer system).
Catalogue of built-in options to cover all safety needs including lightning arrestors, backfeed protection to
avoid injecting DC power upstream, industrial adaptation kits, etc.
No derating of the active power, whether for inductive or capacitive loads.
Operation without a neutral.
Easy start-up and operation
The most compact UPS in its category, Galaxy 5000 is easy to set up and install.
It has intuitive user-machine interfaces based on graphics and pictograms to enhance safety and comfort:
Black and white graphical display, wide (quarter VGA, 120 x 93 mm) and high resolution (320 x 240 pixels),
easy to read under all lighting conditions.
Step-by-step help on the screen for operations.
Animated mimic diagram.
Time-stamping of 2 500 events.
Galaxy 5000 offers the entire MGE UPS SYSTEMS range of communication systems to:
inform on UPS operation and the environment
protect server data by automatic, clean shutdown of operating systems
actively supervise an entire set of UPSs.
These functions implement different protocols depending on the environment, including dry contacts, the
JBus/Modbus protocols for communication with a BMS (Building Management System) and Ethernet for web
supervision.
Reduction in operating costs and the TCO
The high level of availability protects against operating losses. But the cost must be proportionate to the risks
covered and optimised. To that end, it is necessary to calculate the direct investment and installation costs as
well as the operating costs (personnel, energy, maintenance, etc.). TCO analysis shows that Galaxy 5000
provides the best return on the investment.
Reduced installation costs
- System components (protection circuit breakers, cables, genset) can be sized to the precise need due to the
absence of upstream harmonic currents (THDI < 3%).
- System compactness, installation of batteries in the UPS cabinets up to 80 kVA and positioning with the back
to the wall all reduce the Galaxy 5000 footprint.
Reduced operating costs
Galaxy 5000 efficiency is 94%, even at low percent loads. That means significant savings on the energy bill
and in sizing air-conditioning and ventilation systems.
Proactive maintenance
Easy product maintenance was a major guideline in designing Galaxy 5000, with:
- computer tools for improved servicing and diagnostics
- remarkable access to all modules for fast and safe repairs
- the Life-cycle monitoring system comprising a range of sensors for preventive maintenance on components
such as batteries and capacitors. The system signals the approaching end of component life to the diagnostics
tool for timely replacement and enhanced continuity of service for the protected application.
