Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, has introduced the MGE Galaxy 300i uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to the Kenyan market. The Galaxy 300i provides a simplified and reliable solution for protecting small and medium businesses, commercial buildings and technical facilities. It offers reliable power protection and a robust and easy to install system at the best price to performance ratio.

Galaxy 300i is a three-phase UPS product that is fully RoHS (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances) compliant. The power efficiency rates, up to 90.5 percent with output transformer, are higher than other UPS systems with similar features. This efficiency provides lower operational and cooling costs over the medium and long-term.

The UPS system uses a double conversion online topology, which provides a regulated and reliable power supply. The Galaxy 300i offers an integrated transformer and internal mechanical bypass to provide higher levels of power availability. These features, combined with the compact design and easy installation, meet all the key requirements of customers looking for a three-phase UPS in the 10-40kVA-power range.

"Feedback from our channel partners and core customers shows that power availability, reliability, manageability and convenience are the key issues that UPS systems need to address for low and medium level power users," explains Said el Bouhali, vice president for the IT business unit at Schneider Electric. "The new Galaxy 300i system has been designed with these requirements firmly in mind to deliver a UPS that is easy to install and operate, at an affordable price point. It is ideal for end users who are purchasing a three-phase UPS for the first time."

Users are able to monitor and manage power requirements locally and remotely through a simple web/ SNMP interface and a user-friendly display available in 18 languages.
