Still Running a Galaxy 300?
The Galaxy 300 has been discontinued by Schneider Electric, but thousands of units remain in operation across South Africa and they still need expert care. If your business is running a Galaxy 300, MPEI is here when you need us. We provide full servicing, genuine parts, battery replacements, and emergency repairs for existing installations, keeping your system running reliably for as long as it serves your business.
When you are ready to upgrade, we can also advise on the best successor models, including the Schneider Electric Easy UPS 3S, tailored to your specific load requirements.
What Is the Galaxy 300?
The Galaxy 300 is a three-phase, double-conversion online UPS designed for power ranges from 10 kVA to 80 kVA. Whether protecting a server room, a manufacturing plant, or a multi-floor commercial building, this unit is engineered to deliver clean, continuous power even during grid disturbances, load shedding, or complete power failures.
