There are at least two times that Phil Dunphy was electrocuted on "Modern Family":

1) In the "Express Christmas" episode Manny tazered Phil by accident when he was actually aiming for a Craigslist seller.

2) In the "Alliance" episode Phil was electrocuted by an electric shock collar that was meant for Jay and Gloria's dog Stella.

The above answer is sufficient, but I'll point out for technical purposes that the correct answer is "none", since "electrocution" means to be killed by electricity, and since the character was not killed, he was not electrocuted. The correct term is "shocked" or "received an electric shock".
