APC by Schneider Electric GVSUPS60KHS Galaxy VS 60kW Online UPS for External Batteries
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric GVSUPS60KHS is a 60kW (60 kVA) three-phase, double-conversion online UPS designed for medium-to-large commercial and industrial installations where continuous power protection is non-negotiable. Built on the Galaxy VS platform, it is configured specifically for use with external battery cabinets — the right architecture when you need runtime scalability beyond what an integrated battery unit can provide. This model ships with 5x8 start-up service included, meaning a factory-trained technician will commission the unit during standard business hours. If your load requires 24/7 commissioning coverage, factor that into the service tier decision before ordering.
The Galaxy VS sits in the APC commercial UPS lineup aimed at data centers, broadcast facilities, industrial control rooms, and any facility running critical power infrastructure at the 40–80kW range. At 60kW output, it can carry a fully populated server rack row, a mid-size network operations center, or a large physical security head-end with NVRs, VMS servers, and network switching gear combined.
Key Features
- Double-Conversion Online Topology: The GVSUPS60KHS conditions power continuously — the load runs off the inverter at all times, not off raw utility. That means zero transfer time on outage and complete isolation from input voltage sags, spikes, and frequency fluctuations. For sensitive computing and storage equipment, this is the architecture that eliminates the
