330

A value offering aimed to improve Schneider Electric IT Business’s market presence in the critical power industry

Schneider Electric IT Business announced the launch of the 3-Phase Galaxy 300, a value offering optimally priced to suit the needs of sectors like healthcare, retail, infrastructure, banking, manufacturing, power apart from other conventional sectors like IT & Telecom. The product comes with India for India features like Heavy Duty Charger with four hours plus runtime and up to 30 mins of integrated battery; it is dust proof to avoid increased risk of failure in dust prone environments and has simplified parallel mode of UPS allowing uninterrupted supply of power in case of failure of one UPS.

With the economic conditions improving, India should see a slew of investments as well as strong growth in the manufacturing, retail, banking and IT sectors. The demand supply gap for power still exists and additionally, poor power transmission and distribution infrastructure leads to major challenges for customers who cannot afford downtime of their processes, manufacturing and IT systems. Thus, corporates are likely to continue to invest in critical power systems. The Galaxy 300’s India for India features have been designed keeping in mind the growing critical power market, especially with industries expanding in Tier II & III cities. The new Galaxy 300 is simple and reliable. It comes with advanced dust filters and Conformal coating to protect the UPS from harsh environments as faced in major parts of the country. It has also been designed with high battery run time keeping in mind the frequent power failures. One other key feature of the products is the compact size. UPS comes with integrated battery offer that allows customers to install 3rd party batteries inside the UPS Cabinet, thus allowing a safe and compact installation. The New Galaxy 300 is also available in 1 phase output to meet the Light industrial requirements.

The UPS also comes with other features like:

  • High efficiency
  • Compact size UPS with inbuilt batteries
  • Double conversion online for maximum protection
  • Multi-language display, installation wizard and mimic diagrams for easy operation
  • Full maintenance bypass integrated
  • Highly Serviceable

According to Jayabalan Velayudhan, Director Strategy and Business Development; Schneider Electric IT Business, “The market for 3-Phase 10-40KVA UPS in India is anticipated to grow at the rate of 8-10% per annum. This is a unique opportunity for Schneider Electric to introduce the new version of Galaxy 300 which offers reliable power protection and a robust and easy-to-install system at the best price-to-performance ratio. We are confident that with the launch of Galaxy 300, we will be able to capture the 3-Phase UPS market specifically for general purpose applications.” The Galaxy 300 is the easiest UPS in its class to install, manage, and maintain. The product is aimed at electrical contractors and facility managers who do not have specialized knowledge in UPS installation and are end-customer influencers. Schneider Electric IT Business’s strategy for this product is therefore to address electrical contractors through the Electrical Distributors Channel who offer a ‘one stop-shop ‘for customers looking for complete electrical supplies from a single distributor. The product is also available in single Phase output more suitable for control and automation market. It includes a one year physical warranty with extended warranty options.
