Schneider Electric Galaxy VS Seismic Kit for Modular Battery Cabinet or 521mm Wide UPS

The Schneider Electric Galaxy VS Seismic Kit is the essential safeguard for mission-critical power systems, designed to reinforce Galaxy VS Modular Battery Cabinets and 521mm wide UPS units against seismic events. This kit integrates with existing Galaxy VS configurations to provide robust mounting, vibration damping, and secure anchoring, so your data center or industrial facility can maintain uptime even in challenging conditions. Built for reliability, ease of installation, and long-term serviceability, the seismic kit preserves airflow, cable management, and access to components while delivering dependable performance when you need it most.

• Enhanced seismic resilience for Galaxy VS: This seismic kit delivers reinforced mounting brackets, anti-vibration hardware, and secure anchoring designed to withstand seismic forces, reducing the risk of cabinet displacement, component misalignment, or cable disconnects during an earthquake. By stabilizing the modular battery cabinet and 521mm wide UPS, the kit helps protect critical power protection infrastructure and maintains availability for connected loads during and after seismic events. The solution is engineered to align with industry standards for seismic performance, providing peace of mind for operators of data centers, healthcare facilities, and other mission-critical environments.
• Universal compatibility with Galaxy VS systems: The kit is engineered to fit Schneider Electric Galaxy VS Modular Battery Cabinets and 521mm wide UPS units, offering a cohesive, plug-and-play approach that minimizes the need for custom accessories. Its design preserves the original cabinet geometry, cable routing paths, and ventilation channels, so installation does not compromise cooling efficiency or serviceability. The modular nature of the kit accommodates a range of configurations, enabling quick reconfiguration as your facility grows or changes its power protection strategy.
• Installer-friendly design for faster deployment: With clearly labeled mounting points, standardized fasteners, and pre-formed brackets, the Galaxy VS Seismic Kit simplifies the installation process. The package typically includes installation templates and all required hardware, enabling precise alignment and secure anchoring with minimal tools and effort. This translates into shorter maintenance windows, reduced labor costs, and increased confidence that the system will perform as intended under seismic loads.
• Safety, compliance, and long-term reliability: By stabilizing critical power components, the kit reduces movement-related hazards, protects essential cabling connections, and supports safer post-event inspections. The stabilized assembly helps maintain airflow across battery modules and UPS components, aiding thermal management and reducing the risk of thermal-related failures after a tremor. The robust build contributes to longevity and lowers life-cycle costs by minimizing mechanical wear and the need for frequent rework after seismic events.
• Durable construction for harsh environments: Constructed from rugged steel with corrosion-resistant finishes, the seismic kit stands up to the realities of data center environments—dust, humidity, and routine maintenance cycles. The durable hardware maintains dimensional stability and remains reliable across multiple installation cycles, facility upgrades, or reconfigurations, ensuring long-term performance without degradation in seismic performance.

How to install Schneider Electric Galaxy VS Seismic Kit

• Step 1: Confirm compatibility and review safety guidelines. Verify that the Galaxy VS Modular Battery Cabinet or 521mm wide UPS unit is the intended platform for the seismic kit, and consult your local seismic codes and facility guidelines before beginning installation.
• Step 2: Prepare the installation site and organize hardware. Unpack the seismic kit components, lay out brackets and fasteners, and ensure the mounting surface (rack, floor, or structural attachment points) is clean and ready for anchoring.
• Step 3: Attach mounting brackets to the cabinet or UPS. Align the brackets with the pre-drilled mounting points on the Galaxy VS cabinet or 521mm wide UPS, secure using the included fasteners, and confirm that all brackets sit square and level to maintain proper cabinet geometry.
• Step 4: Anchor the assembly to the supporting structure. Following the project’s seismic design criteria, anchor the kit to the rack frame or floor per the provided templates and local code requirements. Ensure that all anchors are tightened to the specified torque values and that the assembly remains stable during test moves.
• Step 5: Verify alignment, airflow, and cabling. Recheck the alignment of the cabinet and kit, ensure clearances around cooling intakes and outlets are preserved, confirm that cables are routed without strain, and perform a basic functional check of the UPS and battery cabinet to verify no interference with moving parts.
