Schneider Electric Announces Galaxy VXL UPS – Industry’s Most Compact, High Density Power Protection System for AI, Data Center, and Large-Scale Electrical Workloads

• Ultra-compact, high-efficiency UPS designed for AI-ready data centers, semiconductors, and industrial facilities.
• Pioneering high-density design that delivers up to 99% efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Enhanced safety, cybersecurity, and remote monitoring, backed by EcoCare services for maximum reliability and lifespan

Mumbai : Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has today announced the launch of its new Galaxy VXL – a highly efficient, compact, modular, scalable, and redundant 500-1250 kW (400V) 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS), complete with enhanced cybersecurity, software, and safety features.

The Galaxy VXL UPS redefines power protection with a compact 1.2m² footprint and industry-leading 1042 kW/m² power density. Designed for AI, hyperscale data centers, and critical infrastructure, it supports up to 1.25 MW per frame and scales to 5 MW with four units in parallel, maximizing uptime and efficiency. It delivers 99% efficiency in eConversion mode and 97.5% in double conversion mode, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions while ensuring Class-1 power protection. With a 52% smaller footprint, its modular, N+1 redundant design enhances availability by up to 10x. Scalable power modules minimize CapEx and support future expansion. It is compatible with Lithium-ion and VRLA batteries, and the Live Swap function ensures seamless maintenance and uptime. Furthermore, the EcoStruxure IT integration enables secure remote monitoring with IEC 62443-4-2 certified cybersecurity, offering a resilient, flexible, and efficient power solution.

Speaking on the launch, Venkataraman Swaminathan, Vice President-Secure Power Division, Schneider Electric Greater India said, As dependency on large-scale infrastructure grows rapidly, businesses need sustainable, resilient, and efficient power solutions to safeguard critical systems while minimizing environmental impact. The Galaxy VXL UPS marks a major step forward in power protection, combining a compact, high-density design with exceptional efficiency and scalability. Designed for AI, data centers, and critical infrastructure, it optimizes energy use, reduces costs, and ensures unparalleled reliability for high-density workloads. As power demands evolve, Schneider Electric remains committed to delivering future-ready solutions that enhance sustainability, security, and operational efficiency.

Schneider Electric`s Galaxy VXL UPS has been designed to offer record breaking power densities, and an AI-ready power architecture for the most energy-intensive workloads. For the first time, this new UPS provides customers 1.25mw scalable and modular solution with 125kw/3U power modules in 1.2m2 footprint, while being capable of supporting up to 1.25 MW of critical load in one frame and up to 5 MW with 4 units in parallel in only 4.8 M2 space. Key benefits include:

• Modular, scalable, high-power design: With a power density of 1042 kW per squared meter, customers can deploy a 1.25 MW modular UPS in a single frame, and add power modules incrementally via pay-as-you-grow flexibility.
• Smaller footprint: Standing at 1.2m2, Galaxy VXL has a 52% footprint improvement compared with industry average, with full front access and no rear clearance, offering better power and space utilization.
• Increased efficiency and sustainability: Galaxy VXL provides up to 99% efficiency in eConversion mode and up to 97.5% efficiency in double conversion mode. Its compact footprint means raw material reduction, less packaging, and includes SPoT (Smart Power Test) mode for UPS and Power Module testing, saving electricity.
• Lower CapEx and OpEx: Improved operational and energy efficiencies provide a catalyst for lower electricity bills, and ease of service/maintenance equates to lower labor cost for a better TCO.
• Reinforced, resilient design: Galaxy VXL utilizes conformal-coated boards, 100kA short circuit  rating and optional seismic kit for a robust mechanical design.
• Enhanced cybersecurity and safety: Galaxy VXL is certified to the latest IEC 62443-4-2 security standards and includes Live Swap technology to allow power module replacements, with zero downtime.
• Extended lifespan via EcoCare: With Galaxy VXL, Schneider Electric is introducing EcoCare membership, a next-generation services plan, providing premium on-site and remote access to technical experts, 24/7 remote monitoring powered by AI, condition-based maintenance to minimize on-site disruptions by up to 50%, and help extend the UPSs` lifespan.
• Perfect for prefabricated data centers: With a smaller physical footprint, higher efficiency, and lower cost, Galaxy VXL provides a resilient backbone for the prefabricated data centers of the future.

To meet customer demands for AI systems, Schneider Electric has increased manufacturing and production capacity at a host of its global factories, where its annual production capacity for Galaxy VXL UPS will exceed 9,000 units in 2025.
