FAQs

Q: Why does this SKU require external batteries?
A: The GVSUPS20KHS is configured without internal batteries, allowing it to pair with APC Galaxy VS external battery cabinets. This gives you full flexibility to scale runtime independently of the UPS chassis — ideal for data centres and critical infrastructure where runtime requirements vary.

Q: What is ECOnversion mode and how does it benefit my facility?
A: ECOnversion is APC's patented high-efficiency operating mode that keeps the load partly on the mains while maintaining continuous protection. It achieves up to 99% efficiency, reducing energy losses by up to 66% compared to traditional double-conversion operation — delivering significant savings on electricity costs for 24/7 deployments.

Q: What does the 5x8 Start-Up Service include?
A: The included 5x8 Start-Up Service provides on-site commissioning by an APC-certified engineer during standard business hours (5 days a week, 8 hours a day). This covers physical inspection, electrical connections verification, functional testing, and initial configuration to ensure the UPS is operating correctly from day one.

Q: How is the Galaxy VS managed remotely?
A: The Galaxy VS ships with integrated network management pre-installed, connecting to APC's EcoStruxure IT Expert platform. This cloud-based solution provides real-time monitoring, alerts, and management accessible via web browser or smartphone — no additional network management card purchase required.

Q: Is the Galaxy VS suitable for edge and small data centre deployments?
A: Yes. The Galaxy VS is specifically designed for edge computing sites, small-to-medium data centres, and critical commercial or industrial applications. Its compact, high-density footprint, front-access servicing, and flexible top/bottom cable entry make it well suited to environments where space and ease of maintenance are priorities.
