Electromagnetic Compatibility
RISK OF ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE
This is a product Category C3 according to IEC 62040-2. This is a product for
commercial and industrial applications in the second environment - installation
restrictions or additional measures may be needed to prevent disturbances. The
second environment includes all commercial, light industry, and industrial
locations other than residential, commercial, and light industrial premises
directly connected without intermediate transformer to a public low-voltage
mains supply. The installation and cabling must follow the electromagnetic
compatibility rules, e.g.:
• the segregation of cables,
• the use of shielded or special cables when relevant,
• the use of grounded metallic cable tray and supports.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Important Safety Instructions — SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
Safety Precautions
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• The product must be installed according to the specifications and
requirements as defined by Schneider Electric. It concerns in particular the
external and internal protections (upstream circuit breakers, battery circuit
breakers, cabling, etc.) and environmental requirements. No responsibility is
assumed by Schneider Electric if these requirements are not respected.
• After the UPS system has been electrically wired, do not start up the system.
Start-up must only be performed by Schneider Electric.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The UPS System must be installed according to local and national regulations.
Install the UPS according to:
• IEC 60364 (including 60364–4–41- protection against electric shock, 60364–
4–42 - protection against thermal effect, and 60364–4–43 - protection
against overcurrent), or
• NEC NFPA 70
depending on which one of the standards apply in your local area.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Install the UPS system in a temperature controlled area free of conductive
contaminants and humidity.
• Install the UPS system on a non-inflammable, level, and solid surface (e.g.
concrete) that can support the weight of the system.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Important Safety Instructions — SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS 380 V, 400 V, 415 V, and 440 V UPS System
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The UPS is not designed for and must therefore not be installed in the following
unusual operating environments:
• Damaging fumes
• Explosive mixtures of dust or gases, corrosive gases, or conductive or
radiant heat from other sources
• Moisture, abrasive dust, steam or in an excessively damp environment
• Fungus, insects, vermin
• Salt-laden air or contaminated cooling refrigerant
• Pollution degree higher than 2 according to IEC 60664-1
• Exposure to abnormal vibrations, shocks, and tilting
• Exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, or strong electromagnetic fields
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
RISK OF OVERHEATING
Respect the clearance requirements around the UPS system and do not cover
the product’s ventilation openings when the UPS system is in operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect the UPS output to regenerative load systems including
photovoltaic systems and speed drives.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Technical Data
System Overview
Each Galaxy VX UPS consists of the following components:
• An I/O cabinet for wield wiring containing the static switch, a backfeed
protection switch, and the user interface.
• A number of 250 kW power cabinets containing the power electronics.
UPSs with 1250 kW I/O Cabinet
The 1250 kW I/O cabinet is used for UPS systems from a minimum configuration
of 500 kW with two power cabinets to a maximum configuration of 1250 kW N+1
with six power cabinets. The I/O cabinet is placed to the left and two to six power
cabinets (depending on system size) are placed to the right. The image below
shows the maximum configuration.
UPSs with 1500 kW I/O Cabinet
The 1500 kW I/O cabinet is used for UPS systems from a minimum configuration
of 500 kW with two power cabinets to a maximum configuration of 1500 kW N+1
with seven power cabinets. The image below shows the maximum configuration.
