Parallel SUVT or Galaxy 3500 

Requirements 

● If units are to be put into parallel operation, 

configure with the MBP and OPT009S 

● MBP - SKU is TBD 

● Parallel Communications Kit (SUVTOPT009S) 

consisting of : 

• 2 sets of communications cables (1 long, 1 

short) 

• Parallel communications box 

• Assembly and startup service 

● Optionally 

• Parallel baying kit (SUVTOPT011) 


Parallel SUVT or Galaxy 3500 is 

configured in the Field 

●When the customer purchases the SUVT Parallel Communications Kit 

(SUVTOPT009S) they purchase the service to configure the system 

into a parallel configuration 

●The UPS are powered off, and the kit is installed 

● The internal maintenance bypass switch is removed 

● The CANBUS communications box is installed 

● UPS is connected to the other UPS and to the MBP 

● UPS’s are bayed together, if desired 

● UPS’s are started up and placed into parallel operation 


Parallel Communication Box 

●Must be installed into the Power 

Module of each UPS in parallel 

configurations of two-to-four 

UPSs 

●Parallel capability is not/will not 

be available for the SUVT 

Rack-mount 


Galaxy 3500 Positioning 

●Key benefits 

● For the electrical room in standard environments: 

•Reduced downtime and increased runtime scalability thanks to hot-swappable batteries 

•Optimized cost of ownership thanks to best-in-class efficiency 93% (96% 50hz) and compact 

design for optimised footprint 

•Flexibility of evolution with the parallel capability (up to 4 units) for either capacity or 

redundancy 

● For demanding industrial environments 

•Strong enclosure with 2mm steel front panel 

•NEMA12 / IP51 protection with easy-to-replace air filters 

●Channel Messaging 

● When selling directly to contractor or end-user (like G3000): 

•Get the reliability and the flexibility of an MGE Galaxy product together with the efficiency and 

modularity of the proven Smart-UPS VT architecture. 

● When selling through channels: 

•Galaxy 3500 is the perfect complement to Smart-UPS VT, with a more industrial, less IToriented 

look & feel 

●Service Messaging 

● The start-up is included in the product price 

•This ensures a zero-default installation and virtually eliminates the risk of failure or misfunction 

due to wrong operation at start. 



Vertical Market Segments 

● Infrastructure and Transportation 

● Malls, Supermarkets 

● Conference Centers, Hotels 

● Medical / Biotech / 

Pharmaceutical 

● Chemicals 

● Food & Beverage 

● Semiconductor 

● Automotive 

● Water & Wastewater 

● Metal & Mining 



Build Value 

Serviceability and reduced costs for increased reliability 

● Front access servicing 

● Easy access to cables and wires saves time and 

minimizes risk of human error 

● Fault-tolerant wiring eliminates the risk of damaging the 

UPS if Input / Output wires have been connected to the 

wrong phases 

● Auto-detection of voltage and frequency eases start-up 

and saves time 

● Easy slide in & out power module hot swap 



Build Value 

● Dual Mains Input 

□ A standard feature in Galaxy 3500 products. It 

increases availability by providing the UPS to 

operate on 2 independent mains. One is used 

for the rectifier input and the second is used for 

the bypass input. 

● Static Bypass Switch 

□ Zero transfer time to utility power in case of an 

overload or faulty condition 

□ Ability supply full power to the load and charge 

the battery while in static bypass 


Availability of protected load

Galaxy 3500 Optimized Battery Investment 

Build Value 

● User replaceable, hot swappable batteries 

□ Add runtime or swap a battery module yourself in a 

matter of minutes 

□ Same concept as with hot swappable storage devices 

● Add up to 4 external battery enclosures 

□ Each cabinet holds up to 6 battery modules 

● Temperature-compensated battery charging 

□ Prolongs battery life by regulating the charge voltage 

● Cyclic battery charging 

□ Prolongs battery life by cycling the charge intervals and 

preventing complete battery discharge 


Galaxy 3500 Generator Friendly 

Build Value 


● Soft generator walk-in alls for use of a 

smaller generator (1.5 x UPS kVA rating) 

with 10 second walk in. 

□ Saves generator cost by eliminating the 

need to oversize the generator 

□ Saves cable costs by using smaller cables 

□ Increases availability by eliminating the risk 

of load step on the generator 

● The UPS knows when the generator is 

on 

□ Reduced battery charging when on 

generator power 

● Power factor corrected input 

□ Saves cost as the UPS produces less noise 

back to the generator which helps eliminate 

the need to oversize


Build Value 

Additional benefits of a specific design for industrial applications 

● Heavy Duty Design 

□ The heavy duty design ensures that the UPS can be 

located in industrial environments 

● Air Filter 

□ The air filter ensures that the system can be located 

in harsh industrials environments 

● Built-in Manual Maintenance Bypass Switch 

□ No need for taking down the load or purchasing an 

external wrap around panel for maintenance and 

service 



Build Value

Segment 


Increased UPS manageability 

● Network Management Card 

□ Temperature / humidity and dry contact function 

□ Connect the UPS directly to the network with a 

dedicated IP address 

• Avoid the need for a proxy such as a server 

□ Browser accessible 

• Saves installing software on the network 

management console 

□ Enterprise management system 

• Forward SNMP traps to your preferred 

management system 

□ Fault notification 

• Via email ensures that crucial issues are 

dealt with
