Schneider Electric Galaxy VXL UPSThe Schneider Electric Galaxy VXL UPS, 500–1250 kW, 480V Modular UPS is designed for AI-Ready Data Centers and offers power protection that scales as fast as your AI infrastructure.

AI workloads don’t ask permission before they spike. Galaxy VXL does. Galaxy VXL is a highly efficient, compact, modular 3-phase UPS engineered to absorb the dramatic, rapid load swings of AI compute — without missing a beat. Whether you’re running a colocation facility, a hyperscale campus, or critical infrastructure for commercial, industrial, or cloud environments, Galaxy VXL delivers the availability, efficiency, and headroom your business can’t operate without.

With up to 97.5% efficiency in double conversion mode, an industry-leading compact footprint, and true pay-as-you-grow scalability, Galaxy VXL isn’t just a UPS — it’s the backbone your critical load deserves.

Why Schneider Electric’s Galaxy VXL

Scale on Your Terms: Start with only the power modules you need, then add capacity — from 500 kW up to 1250 kW in 125 kW increments — as demand grows. No forklift upgrades. No wasted capital. Just efficient, predictable growth that keeps pace with your business.

Live Swap — Zero Scheduled Downtime: Third-party verified Live Swap technology lets you add, replace, or remove power modules while the system stays online. Maintenance and expansion no longer mean risk to your critical load.

N+1 Redundancy, No Extra Footprint: Add one extra power module and multiply system availability by 10x — without adding a single square foot to your data center floor plan.

Industry-Leading Density: At just 12.9 ft² per cabinet and up to 96.81 kW/ft² power density, Galaxy VXL is up to 52% smaller than the industry average. Full front-service access and no shadow footprint mean it fits where other UPS systems can’t.

Battery Flexibility: Compatible with Galaxy Lithium-ion battery cabinets, third-party batteries, or classic VRLA — giving you the runtime and total-cost profile that fits your facility.

Connected & Secure: EcoStruxure IT connectivity puts monitoring, management, and service support in your hands anytime, anywhere. Secure remote monitoring runs on an IEC 62443-4-2 certified NMC4 platform, so visibility never comes at the cost of security.

The Galaxy VXL is Engineered for AI Load

AI is forcing data centers and colocation operators to expand faster than ever — and power protection has to keep up. Galaxy VXL is purpose-built for this reality:

  • Proven under pressure — rigorously tested against next-generation AI compute demands and rapid load fluctuations
  • Grows with you — modular architecture scales alongside AI infrastructure in data centers, colo, edge, and hyperscale sites
  • Efficient by design — high performance without sacrificing sustainability or cost control
  • Unity Power Factor (PF=1) — right-sized protection matched to real IT load, with high overload capability for demanding applications
  • Smart Power Test (SPoT) — test the UPS at full power, simply and safely, reducing risk to load and start-up costs

Fast to Deploy. Easy to Standardize

Galaxy VXL rolls into place and gets to work. Its repeatable modular architecture makes it simple to standardize designs across sites, respond quickly to rising demand, and expand capacity without a footprint penalty.
