MGE UPS Units... could they be the best ever

We have just got a few MGE UPS units in.  MGE is not a popular brand in the United States, but it well known in Europe.   The MGE brand is like a kid from a divorced family, since its owned by APC (Schneider Electric) and Powerware (Eaton).  A merger forced the split in brands

MGE through APC recalls the legendary 3phase units, like the MGE Comet.  Today's MGE Galaxy is its main offering.

MGE through Powerware/Eaton is the single phase UPS units, like the Pulsar units.   Today, Eaton is phasing out the MGE name in the US.  The MGE Pulsar's are now called Eaton MX units.  

Anyway,  we just got in some MGE units.  These units are typically the darlings of electrical engineers.  They are well built units and seem more substantial than the APC units.  Since these are 2010 models, they feature some of the newest UPS advances and features


 The Evolution (mg312) is like the APC SUM3000RMXL2U and the Pulsar MX (mx593) is totally unique in that its like a APC Smart Online and Symmetra, since it can transformer from 5k to 20k by linking units together.
