Product lines

Nine product families, one factory

From single-phase pole-mounted units to 110 kV power transformers and megawatt-hour storage containers — every product is wound, cast, fabricated and tested in-house.

Why buyers choose MARS

Engineered and built under one roof

Own 25,000 m² plant

CNC copper winding, vacuum resin casting, vapour-phase drying, in-house sheet-metal and powder coating, and dedicated assembly lines for four product groups.

Tested before it ships

Routine tests on every unit — ratio, winding resistance, insulation, losses, withstand voltage, partial discharge. Type tests and customer or third-party FAT on request.

Certified for four regions

CE (ECM) for the EU, UDEM attestation for Türkiye, EAC declaration for the Eurasian Union and CQC for China — plus ANSI/IEEE-style designs for the Americas.

Built to specification

Capacity, voltage ratio, vector group, winding material, insulation class, enclosure IP and cooling are all configurable. Send the grid and the site; we build to match.

Featured equipment
Our factory

Made in our own workshops, not sourced and re-badged

Our Shanghai plant runs four connected production lines under one roof: transformer winding and assembly, switchgear and cabinet fabrication, compact substation and container integration, and energy storage assembly.

  • Oxygen-free copper wound on CNC machines for foil and wire coils
  • Cast-resin coils vacuum-cast and cured in-house; oil-immersed cores vapour-phase dried
  • Tanks and enclosures cut, folded and powder-coated on our own sheet-metal line
  • Every unit routine-tested and crated in fumigation-free wooden cases

33 kV/11 kV Distribution Substation

A 33 kV/11 kV step-down point in a growing city carries two competing demands. It has to absorb load growth without repeated outages, and it has to fit into a constrained urban plot alongside existing feeders.

33 kV/13.8 kV Solar Transformer Bay

A transformer bay at a Saudi photovoltaic plant works in three conditions that a general-purpose distribution unit is not designed around.

2 MWh Liquid-Cooled Containerized BESS

A battery system connected in Germany faces a regulatory environment that is stricter and more explicit than most, and the specification has to be built around it from the start rather than adapted afterwards.

About MARS

Global Power, Trusted MARS

MARS — Shanghai Mars Electric Power Equipment Co., Ltd. — manufactures transformers, switchgear, compact substations and battery energy storage systems for utility, industrial, commercial and renewable-energy projects in more than 40 countries. From 5 kVA distribution units to 31,500 kVA power transformers, and from 40 kWh storage cabinets to 10 MWh liquid-cooled containers, every product is engineered to IEC, ANSI/IEEE, GB or GOST standards and backed by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified manufacturing.

Questions buyers ask first

What does MARS manufacture?

Oil-immersed and cast-resin dry-type distribution transformers, power transformers up to 31,500 kVA / 110 kV class, pad-mounted and pole-mounted transformers, compact and containerised substations, MV/LV switchgear and ring main units, and LFP battery energy storage from 40 kWh cabinets to 10 MWh containers.

Which standards and certifications do your products meet?

Designs follow IEC 60076 and IEC 62271, with ANSI/IEEE, GB and GOST variants. The factory is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified; products carry CE (ECM), UDEM attestation, EAEU EAC declaration and CQC certification.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One unit. Most transformers and switchgear are built to order, so a single custom-specified unit is normal; container BESS and substations are quoted per project.

How long is delivery?

Distribution transformers and switchgear typically ship 25–45 days after drawing approval; power transformers 60–90 days; containerised BESS 60–90 days. Sea freight from Shanghai adds 2–6 weeks depending on destination.

Can I visit the factory or witness testing?

Yes. Factory visits and witnessed factory acceptance tests (FAT), by you or a third-party inspector such as SGS, TÜV or BV, are welcome by appointment.

How do I get a quotation?

Add products to the quote list and send it, use the contact form, or email inquiry@electrical-equipment-factory.com with the rating, voltage ratio, frequency, standard, quantity and destination. An engineer replies within one working day.

Send us the grid and the site. We build the equipment to match.

Share your voltage ratio, capacity, frequency and destination — you will get a technical proposal and quotation, not a form reply.
