Reducing environmental impact 
for sustainable development
Design
Reducing the number of parts improves reliability 
and reduces impact on the environment.
The MGE
TM 
Galaxy
TM 
7000 design team used 
advanced digital electronics to achieve savings:
• fewer electronic boards,
• software updates via downloading instead of 
changing boards.
Manufacturing according to 
environmental standards
MGE
TM 
Galaxy
TM 
7000 is produced in factories that 
comply with the ISO 14001 standard to reduce:
• energy consumption,
• packaging waste for supplier parts,
• amounts of materials used in the process.
Energy efficiency thanks to 
quality power solutions
Reduced consumption thanks to the green IGBT
rectifier (low harmonics), which in turn reduces sizing 
of the electrical distribution system (breakers, cables, 
generator).
High efficiency UPS solutions to reduce heat losses:
• up to 94,5% efficiency in on-line mode,
End of Life recycling
End of product life:
• Safety instructions,
• list of parts containing regulated substances and 
their position in the UPS.
Beyond international 
environmental regulations
The data centre and critical power industry must 
commit to environmental issues. Schneider Electric 
systematically attempts to exceed current and future 
requirements imposed by standards. That includes:
• ISO 14001 certification of sites and R&D,
• Eco-design based on ISO 14040 &14060 
standards & eco-production, a true commitment to 
sustainable development.
MGE
TM 
Galaxy
TM 
7000 takes the environmental 
issue into account at each stage of the product’s 
life.
Raw materials
Thanks to its compact size and low weight, the 
MGE
TM 
Galaxy
TM 
7000 requires fewer raw materials 
and the types used are more environmentally 
friendly.
Power efficient components:
• specific choke coils,
• smaller output filters.
New design for a transformerless UPS:
• more silicon, less copper,
• more powerful IGBTs.
The weight of the MGE
TM 
Galaxy
TM 
7000 has been 
halved compared to the previous generation.
