MGE UPS Intros New Galaxy 4000 UPS

MGE UPS Systems Inc. (Costa Mesa, CA), a leader in high-availability power solutions to the industrial, telecom and IT markets, introduced its Galaxy 4000 uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which is designed to meet the stringent power demands of critical data centers and industrial facilities.

The 40 kVA, 50 kVA, 65 kVA and 75 kVA online double-conversion Galaxy 4000 models improve the input power quality that increases reliability and reduces costs. The Galaxy's IGBT rectifier eliminates input harmonics from the utility-supplied power and corrects the input through power-factor correction. The advanced features allow the UPS to be installed using smaller cabling and breakers as well as low UPS-to-generator sizing. In addition, the Galaxy's power surge stabilization system regulates voltage during surge conditions.

For applications requiring extended run times, users can add additional battery banks to the Galaxy. For example, the 40 kVA Galaxy UPS with four battery cabinets will protect connected systems for more than two hours during a power outage. MGE has incorporated advanced battery management into the new Galaxy 4000 Series. Through automated load testing of the batteries, the UPS can quickly determine precise battery performance parameters and alert operators to any irregularities before they have a chance to affect the UPS performance. In addition, automatic predictive failure analysis of the batteries allows users to know exactly when they should replace their batteries.
