Reflected Distortion

Clean Power on the Input and the Output

Output

While most UPS provide clean power on the output, the rectifier

can reflect distortion back onto the utility power, disturbing other

equipment sharing the utility power in the rest of the facility. The

Galaxy 3000 is equipped with Input

Power Factor Correction

(PFC) for practically distortion free (<3% THD) input. Since the

Galaxy 3000 uses a unique IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)

rectifier, input harmonics are eliminated without an input filter

(required on other UPS).

Unique Advantages of

Galaxy 3000 Input Power Factor Correction

◗

Eliminates reflected harmonics on the input–
keeping utility power clean for the rest of the facility

◗

Contributes to unsurpassed generator compatibility

◗

Eliminates costly and bulky input filters–
reducing UPS power consumption by 20%

◗

Increased reliability with fewer components

Double Conversion On-line Topology:

The Galaxy 3000’s double conversion topology

uses the rectifier and inverter to isolate devices on the UPS output from the dangers of raw utility

power - never exposing the critical load. Double conversion topology also allows the UPS to

regulate the output frequency without switching to battery power, a necessity for continued

reliable operation with a generator.

User friendly operation:

With 30 years experience in the manufacture of UPS systems, MGE

realizes user error accounts for a majority of UPS load drops. The Galaxy 3000’s graphical user interface

presents information, like operator instructions, in a clear and safe manner – preventing unnecessary

operator errors. Also depicted are alarm/event logs, mimic diagrams, and detailed system

status information.

While a UPS provides clean power on the output, the rectifier used on their input reflects disturbances back on to the utility disturbing
nearby devices that share the power. Even a UPS equipped with input filters don’t ensure that some distortion won’t be reflected onto
the utility. The above chart shows that the Galaxy 3000’s IGBT rectifier is the most effective technology for reducing reflected
distortion, and does not require the hidden cost and energy consumption associated with an input filter.
