APC by Schneider Electric Galaxy vs UPS 20KW 400V for External Batteries - GVSUPS20KMHS

APC by Schneider Electric GVSUPS20KMHS Double-Conversion UPS

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric GVSUPS20KMHS is a 20 kVA / 20000 W double-conversion (online) uninterruptible power supply designed for critical infrastructure. It provides a stable sine wave output, protecting sensitive equipment from power anomalies. This unit is configured for external battery cabinets, offering flexible runtime solutions for demanding applications like server rooms, industrial automation, or critical network closets. Its 3-phase input and output make it suitable for higher power density deployments.

Compatibility

This UPS is designed to integrate with APC's Galaxy VS system and requires external battery cabinets (sold separately) for operation. It is compatible with APC's EcoStruxure IT management platform for remote monitoring and control. The 400V operational voltage range (340-460V input, up to 400V output) and 50/60 Hz output frequency ensure compatibility with standard industrial power grids and equipment.

Installation Notes

The GVSUPS20KMHS requires a 3-phase power connection. Input operation voltage spans from 340V to 460V, with a maximum input current of 30A. The output waveform is a pure sine wave with Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of 1% or less, crucial for sensitive electronics. Noise levels are rated at 68 dB, requiring placement in a controlled environment. It features overload and short circuit protection.
