Safety of Persons

The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power terminals may be energized
even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC power source.

The UPS must be properly grounded.

The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives
listed below must be observed:
- Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
- Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
- Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high.
Precautions must be taken for all handling: remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects,
use tools with insulated handles.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

Product Safety

Upstream protection must be installed and be easily accessible.

The UPS can be disconnected from the AC power source by opening the input protective devices.

UPS must be connected to a nearby power source that is easily accessible.

Never block the ventilation openings of the UPS.

The UPS must be installed in a controlled environment.

Special Precautions

The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.

Check that the indications on the rating nameplate correspond to your AC powered system and to the actual
electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.

Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be energized
for a period of 24 hours, at least once every 3 months (for a normal storage temperature less than 25C). This
charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.

General Description
The Galaxy 3000 is the worlds first data center grade Uninterruptible Power Supply system designed specifically
for mid-range enterprise level applications. The Galaxy 3000 family consists of units available in power ratings from
10-30 KVA, and are optimized for compatibility with nonlinear computer-type loads. The Galaxy 3000 20 KVA and
30 KVA units can be connected in parallel for capacity or redundancy.
By incorporating the Ultra High Availability Topology (UHAT), the Galaxy 3000 family of UPS systems is designed
to provide the optimal level of reliability and to react to any power disturbance in an inherently safe way to protect
the critical load.
The Galaxy 3000 all-in-one design incorporates every feature into one compact cabinet, including a graphical user
interface, power factor corrected input, batteries, and communication cards that support network based power
management.
The Galaxy 3000 UPS and its auxiliary equipment is designed for installation in a room where humidity and temperature can be controlled.

Major Components
Rectifier

Converts AC input voltage to DC voltage. The rectifier uses IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistor) power transistors and a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) technique to provide
input power factor correction and to minimize any harmonic reflected onto the input
power lines.

Inverter

Converts DC voltage from the rectifier or from the batteries into AC output voltage to
maintain the attached load. This module uses the IGBT technology to provide digital
power quality.

Static Switch

Automatically supplies the attached load from the bypass source when the inverter is off.

Battery System

Stores energy for utilization by the inverter and attached load in the event that utility AC
power is lost or is of unacceptable quality.

Single Line Diagram


During normal operation, the utility power (Main input) is supplied to the UPS rectifier. The rectifier converts the AC
power to DC that is supplied to the inverter. The inverter converts the DC voltage to three-phase regulated AC
voltage, which is supplied to the attached load.
During power failure conditions, the inverter is supplied by the stored energy in the battery system, and the load is
powered continuously with no interruption.
The UPS will run on battery power until "Low battery shutdown". At this point the inverter will turn OFF but the Power
Factor Correction (PFC) module will stay ON to keep the DC BUS and power supply running for up to 2 hours. This
period of time is called "Sleep mode".
If the input power returns while the unit is in "Sleep mode", and the unit is set to autostart, the unit will restart the
inverter and supply the load. "Sleep mode" isn't active for a parallel system with a single input or dual input when
both input and bypass are not available.
The Galaxy 3000 UPS is designed for internal operation of 208 VAC input and output. When different input and/or
output voltages are specified, transformers (either internal to the standard cabinet, or external to the micro or
standard cabinet) provide step-up/down functions as required.
Additional (extended life) batteries, external maintenance bypass switches, and/or output distribution panel boards
may be contained in auxiliary cabinets similar in design to the Galaxy 3000 cabinet, or may be contained in third
party cabinets or wall mounted units.

Galaxy 3000 Micro and Standard Cabinets


The Galaxy 3000 UPS system is available in two different cabinet sizes, the Micro cabinet and the Standard cabinet.
Dimensions for the cabinets are:

Micro cabinet:

48.5 (1231.9) H x 23.0 (584.2) W x 33.5 (850.9) D

Standard cabinet:

62.4 (1584.9) H x 32.8 (833.12) W x 35.5 (901.7) D

Both cabinets are designed to provide for top and bottom entry of the utility power feed. The Micro cabinet is typically
supplied assuming bottom entry only.
Operating internally on 208 VAC, the Galaxy 3000 UPS system can be purchased to accept 208 VAC, 220 VAC, 480 VAC,
or 600 VAC utility feed with the use of an internal input transformer contained in a Standard cabinet.
The Micro cabinet was designed to provide all of the features of the Galaxy 3000 system in the smallest possible
enclosure. Without an auxiliary cabinet, the Galaxy 3000 system in a Micro cabinet provides only 208 VAC input and
208 VAC output.
An output voltage of 208 VAC is standard with the Galaxy 3000 and does not require any additional cabinetry. If output
voltages of 240 VAC, 480 VAC or 600 VAC are required, an auxiliary cabinet is required for the output transformer.
The complete list of additional cabinets that could be included with your Galaxy 3000 system are:

Scheduling of the MGE Field Service Engineers typically should be done 7 to 10


days before they are required on-site. If the startup of the UPS is critical to
maintaining your schedule, please call the MGE toll free telephone number at
1-800-438-7373 for assistance.

Receiving and Handling


Prior to any installation, the following items should be observed upon receipt of the Galaxy 3000 10-30 KVA UPS.
The casters on the unit will allow it to be positioned into the final installation location. At this point, the leveling legs
can be adjusted to provide a level and stable footing for the Galaxy 3000 UPS system. See Figure 2-1.
1) Inspect shipment for any damage prior to receipt. Damage claims should be filed directly with the courier.
Replacements for damaged components should be ordered through MGE Customer Care Center at
1-800-438-7373.
2) Move equipment as close to the final location as possible if using a pallet jack or forklift.
3) Once equipment is close to the installation location, and if configuration is optional pallet mount, remove the
Galaxy 3000 UPS from the shipping pallet using extreme caution when rolling the cabinet off the pallet as its
weight may exceed 500 lbs.
4) All cabinets are equipped with casters allowing the equipment to be placed into final position. Push cabinets
very slowly into position to avoid any tipping hazard.
5) Once in position, adjust the leveling legs to provide a fixed and stable footing for the Galaxy 3000 UPS system.
6) At this point, the UPS system can either be prepared for operation, or for storage until such time as it may be

2.7.3

Bypass AC Input Connections (Optional)

If the Galaxy 3000 system was specified for a second (bypass) AC source, but a separate power source is not
available, then jumpers should be installed from the primary AC source to the terminal blocks for the bypass
AC source.

NOTE

The three phase power should be supplied as a Wye with a separate neutral that
will be connected to the input neutral busbar.
If the second (bypass) AC source is provided from a source other than that of
the main input, it is recommended to use isolation transformers so that the
neutral of both AC sources can be grounded to the same potential.

The connections to be made are the three phases, neutral and ground cables from the bypass AC input power
source to the UPS. The bypass AC input cables are terminated at the Bypass Input Terminal Blocks (TB3). This
option provides a separate AC input source for bypass operation. See Figure 2-2.
2.7.4

AC Output Connections

The connections to be made are the three phases, neutral and ground cables from the load or power distribution
panel to the UPS. The output cables are terminated at the Output Terminal Blocks (TB2). Load cables must be
routed separately from all other cables (power supply or computer-system interconnection cables). They should not
pass near interference-emitting equipment or sensitive loads. See Figure 2-2.
For Single Module UPS:
The output from the Galaxy 3000 UPS system should be connected to the left most set of terminal blocks (TB2).
For Single Module UPS With Output Transformer:
The Galaxy 3000 UPS system offers a standard 208 VAC output voltage. Optionally, a transformer can be provided
in an auxiliary cabinet that will provide 480 VAC for the output.
The output from either the Galaxy 3000 cabinet or from the external auxiliary transformer cabinet should be wired

Figure 3-6: Battery Measurements Screen.

The Battery Measurements screen provides a rapid


assessment of the available battery voltage, current,
battery charge, temperature as well as expected service
life. See Figure 3-6.
The backup time measurement will be calculated by
the battery parameter identification (BPI), if the following
requirements are met:
Required Conditions to Initiate BPI:

BPI set to automatic in personalization.

Battery charge level = 100%.

UPS On-line (Inverter Coupled).

Mains 2 within tolerance.

Percent load is > 15%.

Battery temperature 0-40C (32-104F).

No battery faults.

No rectifier or inverter overload condition.

If the above conditions are met and maintained then the UPS will run a successful BPI. A normal BPI will drain the
batteries to a level of 80% capacity. When the BPI is completed successfully, the backup time will be displayed when
the batteries are 100% charged. If the load does not change by more than 20%, then a BPI will be run again in
one year. Another BPI will run, only if the load changes by 20% or the BPI is a year old.
If one of the conditions below occurs during the performance of the BPI, the BPI will be aborted.
Factors Leading to Abort a BPI:

34

Inverter to mains 2 source transfer.

Load percent drops to < 15%.

Battery temperature outside 0-40C (32-104F).

Percent load changes more than +/-5% from starting power level.

Display Panel

86-172010-00 E00

Installation and User Manual

Battery temperature does not stay within 10C from the starting temperature point.

Communication fault.

Input current 0 amps or > 100% load current.

Rectifier or inverter overload.

Mains 1 or Mains 2 failure.

In case the BPI cannot be done, a simplified autonometer will be used. This autonometer will start and display
backup time when the batteries are 100% charged. Because the calculation used is more simplified than the one
used for calculating backup time using a BPI, these will be less accurate. Therefore it is preferable to use the BPI
whenever possible. This provides an option for example, when less than 15% load or cannot run a BPI.

Downgrade Modes for Parallel System

9Min

The downgraded modes for a parallel system correspond essentially to faults related to communication.
Whatever the origin of the fault that caused the installation to shift to downgraded mode, all the units in the
installation act in the same manner to ensure supply to
the load.
The unit will no longer execute any sequences and
remains in the operating mode in effect before
downgraded mode. See Figure 3-19.

DE

Figure 3-19: Downgraded Mode Screen.

All user commands (display, UPS TUNER, and via


communication cards) for connection or disconnection
are refused. The connected units remain connected
until a major fault occurs. They do not disconnect due
to current limiting even when the bypass AC input is
within tolerances. If a major fault occurs, a connected
unit disconnects, but the static switch on its AC bypass
does not close.

This disabling of sequences can be halted if the fault


that caused downgraded mode has been cleared and
all the units in the installation are again ready to
exchange the information required for sequencing.
Two faults may cause downgraded mode. These are
described in more detail below.

1.

Loss of communication between boards in a unit

The cause of the loss of communication may be a wiring fault (cables or connectors) on the CAN bus, either inside
or outside the unit, or a fault on the control boards.
In this case the display will have a flashing message Downgraded mode on the dimmed mimic diagram. The
control and measurement screens are no longer available. A fault is signalled by the communication cards (if
provided) to alert external software programs that the data received is no longer necessarily valid.

2.

Detection of a break in the external CAN bus

The connection status of the external CAN bus is signalled by a green LED on the front of INTN PCA, between the
two external CAN connectors. This LED is ON on all units if the wiring is correct and it goes OFF on all units if a
cable or line terminator is disconnected.
A system detects disconnection of the CAN cable between units or of one of the two line terminators. This system
is made up of a current loop flowing through all the external CAN cables between the line terminators. A break in
the circuit (cable or line terminator) is detected simultaneously by all units which display the CAN-cable fault. This
fault disables all sequences on all units.
The connected units remain connected until a major fault occurs. They do not disconnect due to current limiting even
when the bypass AC input is within tolerances. If a major fault occurs, a connected unit disconnects, but the static
switch on its AC bypass does not close. Commands (display, UPS TUNER, and via communication cards) for
connection or disconnection are refused. When all connections have been re-established, the units update their
information and normal operation resumes. The fault automatically disappears.

Operation
Provides startup, shutdown, and normal operation of the Galaxy 3000 UPS. Included are pre and post startup safety
checklists.

4.1

Preparing for Startup


Before being able to use the operator interface to monitor and control your Galaxy 3000 system, a number of items
should be verified to insure that all conditions will provide for safe operation. The following check lists are provided
to aid in the successful pre and post startup of the Galaxy 3000. They include items to verify prior to applying power,
and then tests that should be performed (when appropriate) after startup to verify the health and functionality of all
critical modules within the system.
Before starting the Galaxy 3000, read this Installation and Users Manual thoroughly. Be certain that you fully understand the operation of the indicators, controls, and operational sequences. Before applying power to your Galaxy
3000, MGE recommends contracting a MGE Field Engineer to perform the initial startup.
4.1.1

Pre-Startup Safety Check List

Ensure all power and control wires have been properly connected and securely tightened.

Verify the upstream and downstream protective devices are not tripped, and have been sized properly for the
UPS and load requirements.

Verify that the input voltage is the same as indicated on the UPS nameplate, located inside the door of the
Galaxy 3000 UPS module.

Ensure that nothing is blocking the air intake underneath and around the front bottom of the UPS module and
that the air exhaust on the top of the UPS module is free of all obstructions.

Verify that the manual bypass rotary switch SR1 is set to BYPASS position (or ISOLATED BYPASS for parallel
system). See Figure 4-1 for 10-15 KVA and Figure 4-2 for 20-30 kVA.

If present, verify the optional maintenance bypass disconnects Q3BP and Q5N are in the OFF (open) position.

Verify the battery disconnect QF1 is in the OFF (open) position.

Ensure that the cabinet is resting on its lifting leveler jacks and are not on the 4 casters.

Verify the load disconnects (where applicable) are in the OFF position.

The display should go blank after approximately 30 seconds and all LEDs should be off.

Now the UPS is ready for maintenance.

CAUTION

The battery disconnect QF1 will automatically trip open if left in the ON
position when the UPS is placed in the Maintenance Bypass Mode.
In this mode of operation, the UPS is ready for maintenance, but voltage is still
present on the terminal blocks of various internal components.
The cooling fans will keep running when the UPS is placed in the Maintenance
Bypass mode to prevent the optional input/output transformers inside the UPS
from overheating. If it is necessary to de-energize the fans, move the fan control
switch (S1) to the OFF position.

5.3.2

From Maintenance Bypass to Normal Mode

WARNING

1.

Verify that the Fan Control Switch (S1) is in the ON position.

2.

Rotate SR1 switch to TRANSFER position.

3.

Wait for the Alarm and diagnostics display to go on (at least 5 seconds).

4.

Stop the Inverter by pressing the gray Inverter OFF pushbutton, then using the function keys choose
Yes to confirm Inverter OFF.

CAUTION

52

Failure to follow the proper startup sequence will result in load loss. After SR1
is set to Transfer, it takes the UPS 5 to 6 seconds to test the input power
before turning on the Static Switch. During this time, the load is still supplied
by the Maintenance Bypass line, and moving SR1 to Normal will result in
interruption of power to the load.

ALWAYS turn the Inverter off before rotating the SR1 Rotary Switch.

Replacement Parts List for Galaxy 3000


There are no user serviceable parts inside the Galaxy 3000.
Four levels of replacement parts are available for the Galaxy 3000. These levels are designated A, B, C or D. The
level that you should keep on hand for your installation will vary depending on the type of maintenance planned on
site and the configuration of your Galaxy 3000. Having replacement parts on hand will prevent unacceptable delays
due to time involved obtaining spare parts during critical periods, such as system startup. Any items used during
startup will be replaced by MGE at no charge. Call MGE UPS SYSTEMS, INC. Customer Care Center 1-800-4387373 (Hours: 24/7) to arrange for service and specific recommendations.
A description of each level is provided below:
Level Description

5 10

This level of replacement parts consists of consumable items, specifically power and control fuses. It
is recommended to have these items on hand during installation of the system, including startup.

This level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate short duration system downtime to obtain replacement parts in the event of a major system failure. This level of replacement parts
consists of consumable items, specifically fuses and the most critical printed-circuit assembly (PCA).

This level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate only a minimum of downtime in the event of a major system failure. This level of replacement parts consists of consumable
items, specifically fuses, and a set of critical printed-circuit assembly (PCA).

This level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate only a minimum of downtime in the event of a major system failure. This level of replacement parts consists of consumable
items, specifically fuses, and additional printed-circuit assembly (PCA).
