General – Test Centre
Taihan has established core infrastructure to enhance its HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) cable competitiveness and accelerate its expansion into the global market.
On January 29, Taihan held a completion ceremony for a dedicated HVDC cable test center to mark the milestone.
The event was attended by key executives and employees, including Vice Chairman Song Jong-min of Taihan Cable & Solution and Kim Dae-heon, Head of Planning at Hoban Group. Participants shared the achievements of the facility’s construction and reviewed strategies for expanding the company’s HVDC business.
The newly completed HVDC test center spans approximately 7,000 square meters and is located at the company’s Dangjin Cable Plant, enabling close integration with existing production infrastructure.
The facility can simultaneously test two 640kV-class HVDC cable circuits (links)—both onshore and submarine—allowing flexible responses to project-specific requirements and standards.
This capability is expected to shorten product development and certification timelines and enable faster incorporation of customer requirements, thereby strengthening competitiveness in winning contracts and overall market responsiveness.
A key feature of the center is the consolidation of critical testing equipment required to verify the safety and reliability of HVDC cables.
