Beyond international environmental regulations
The critical power industry commits to environmental issues. Schneider Electric
demonstrates a true commitment to sustainable development with systematic attempts
to exceed current and future requirements imposed by standards that include:
• ISO 14001 certication of sites and R&D
• Eco-design standards and eco-production
• RoHS compliance
MGE Galaxy 300 takes environmental issues into account at each stage of the
product’s life cycle.
Product development according to environmental standards
Design
Reduced number of parts and advanced digital electronics used to improve
reliability and lessen environmental impact:
• Fewer electronic boards
• Software updates via downloading instead of changing boards
Raw materials
Compact size and low weight of design requires fewer — and more
environmentally friendly — raw materials:
• New design for a transformerless UPS
• More silicon, less copper
• More powerful IGBTs changing boards
Manufacturing
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 efciency through quality power solutions
• Reduced consumption, as a result of the IGBT rectier (low harmonics), reduces
sizing of the electrical distribution system (breakers, cables, and generator).
• High-efciency UPS solutions to reduce heat losses
• Up to 93 percent efciency in online mode
Reducing environmental impact for sustainable development.
The Restriction on Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts
the use of six hazardous materials in
the manufacture of various types of
electronics including lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB
and PBDE.
