TechCon® Introduction

TechCon®
2009 represents the 14th year of TJ|H2b's
efforts to provide a forum for the exchange
of information related to the management and
maintenance of high-voltage electrical
equipment. Since the year 2000, TechCon® has grown into a global series of
conferences which facilitate the transfer of
information to the worldwide power industry.
TechCon® presentations cover
a broad range
of assets primarily transformers,
switchgear, and on-load tap changers.
Speakers share experiences, practices and
information about new technologies.
The primary objective of this conference
is
to deliver practical information and
strategies that can be used to realize
