How TJ|H2b’s Proprietary Diagnostics Transform Utility Asset Management
In modern electric utilities, asset management is about maximizing the reliability and performance of equipment while minimizing outages and maintenance costs. Diagnostic testing of insulating fluids is a strategic tool to solve this dilemma. By integrating advanced diagnostics into asset management plans, utilities can make data-driven maintenance decisions (often called condition-based maintenance) instead of relying […]
Preparing the U.S. Electric Grid for EVs and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)
Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the US is accelerating rapidly, posing new challenges for the electric grid. With EVs projected to account for more than half of all new car sales by 2032, utility professionals are facing a critical question: Can the grid handle it? The short answer is: not without significant changes. This will […]
Why Knowledge Sharing Matters More Than Ever in the Utility Industry
The utility workforce that built and maintained the grid for decades— engineers, technicians, chemists, and operators with deep institutional knowledge— is reaching retirement age. Many are already past it, staying on out of necessity. Their knowledge, often undocumented and hard-earned. At TechCon 2025, this reality and turnover were important topics. Michelle Kutzleb, Vice President of […]
Disposal Guidelines for Excess Insulating Fluid and Non-Reusable Sampling Materials
Proper disposal of used oil sample kits is the best practice for environmental safety and regulatory compliance. Oil sampling and diagnostic testing are maintenance procedures, particularly for high-voltage electrical equipment such as transformers, tap changers, and circuit breakers. But what happens after the sampling is done? While companies like TJ|H2b provide sophisticated oil analysis services […]
How To Ship Samples
Transformer oil sampling is a critical aspect of preventive maintenance for electrical equipment, providing valuable insights into the condition of the transformer and its insulation system. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the process, ensuring that oil samples are properly collected and shipped is essential for accurate diagnostic testing. In this blog, we’ll […]
