Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3-phase UPS and why do I need one?
A 3-phase UPS like the Galaxy VS 20kW is designed for large-scale commercial and industrial applications requiring high power capacity. Unlike single-phase systems, 3-phase UPS units distribute power across three electrical phases, providing superior efficiency, reduced heat generation, and the ability to handle demanding loads typical in data centers and manufacturing environments.
Can the battery capacity be expanded on the Galaxy VS 20kW?
Yes, the Galaxy VS features 2 smart modular battery strings that are expandable to 3, allowing you to increase runtime and capacity without replacing the entire system. This scalability ensures your UPS investment grows with your infrastructure needs.
How does the integrated 480V to 400V transformer benefit my facility?
The integrated transformer eliminates the need for external conversion equipment, simplifying installation and reducing costs. It seamlessly converts 480V input power to 400V output, ensuring compatibility with standard European and international electrical standards while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
What makes the Galaxy VS suitable for peak loads up to 80kW?
The Galaxy VS 20kW is engineered with advanced power electronics and modular architecture to tolerate temporary peak loads up to 80kW, providing headroom for sudden power surges common in industrial and data center environments. This capability protects critical equipment and prevents unexpected shutdowns during demand spikes.
