Three-phase UPS for data centres & critical infrastructure

APC Galaxy —
Service, Battery Replacement & Sales Canada

Q: What is the difference between Galaxy VS, VX, and VXL?

Galaxy VS covers 10 to 150 kW for mid-size data centres and hospitals. Galaxy VX scales from 500 to 1,500 kVA for large enterprise and colocation. Galaxy VXL delivers 125 kW per 3U module with lithium-ion batteries for hyperscale density. All three share eConversion technology for 99% efficiency with Class 1 protection.

Q: My Galaxy 3500 needs batteries. Should I replace or migrate?

If the frame and electronics are in good condition and load hasn't changed, a battery string replacement extends life 3 to 5 years at a fraction of replacement cost. If the unit is approaching 15+ years or capacity needs have grown, migrating to Galaxy VS gives the same kVA range with up to 99% efficiency vs 94% on the 3500.

Q: Can you supply and install a new Galaxy VS or VX in Canada?

Yes. The unit, delivery, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance are quoted as a single project. Available nationwide.

Q: Do you service Galaxy systems in government and healthcare facilities?

Yes. Active federal contracts are held and Galaxy systems are serviced in hospitals, government data centres, and secure facilities across Canada.

The APC Galaxy line is the backbone of Canadian data centres, hospitals, and government facilities. From the current Galaxy VS/VX/VXL to legacy Galaxy 3500/5500/7500, we quote new systems, battery string replacements, and ongoing maintenance contracts — all from one Canadian source.

FAQ

Galaxy three-phase questions

What is the difference between Galaxy VS, VX, and VXL? ▼

Galaxy VS covers 10–150 kW and is the standard for mid-size data centres and hospitals. Galaxy VX scales from 500–1,500 kVA for large enterprise and colocation facilities. Galaxy VXL (newest, December 2024) delivers 125 kW per 3U module with lithium-ion batteries — built for AI/GPU hyperscale density. All three share eConversion technology for 99% efficiency with Class 1 protection.

My Galaxy 3500 needs batteries — should I replace or migrate? ▼

If the Galaxy 3500 frame and electronics are in good condition and your load hasn’t changed, a battery string replacement extends its life another 3–5 years at a fraction of replacement cost. If the unit is approaching 15+ years or you need additional capacity, migrating to the Galaxy VS gives you the same kVA range with significantly higher efficiency (up to 99% vs ~94% on the 3500). We provide a written cost comparison for your specific situation.

Can you supply and install a new Galaxy VS or VX in Canada? ▼

Yes. We quote the unit, delivery, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance as a single project. For data centre environments, we coordinate with your facilities team and NOC for scheduled installation windows. Available nationwide.

What does eConversion mode do and should I use it? ▼

eConversion keeps the inverter in parallel with the utility supply, achieving 99% efficiency while maintaining IEC 62040-3 Class 1 protection (zero transfer time). Unlike standard EcoMode which introduces a 4–10 ms transfer gap (Class 3), eConversion is safe for critical loads. For data centres, eConversion is the recommended operating mode.

Do you service Galaxy systems in government and healthcare facilities? ▼

Yes. We hold active federal contracts and service Galaxy systems in hospitals, government data centres, and secure facilities across Canada. Our technicians undergo security clearance processes as required.
