It also manufactures single and three-phase compartmental type pad-mounted transformers. It has a strong in-house technical capability developed over the years through technical tie-ups with leading world class technology corporations such as General Electric and Cooper Power System of USA and Hitachi of Japan. Philec also offers power delivery equipment services and on-site preventive maintenance.
