LS Cable and System announced on May 15 that the company completed the world’s first certification of a high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable. HVDC cable technology is owned by only five companies in the world -- LS Cable and System and four European and Japanese companies. But LS Cable and System became the first company to complete the certification of such a cable by an accredited organization in the world.
LS Cable and System completed a long-term reliability quality test (PQ) of 500kV (500,000V) DC cable under the presence of the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) for six months from October last year. As the institute has officially recognized its technology, it can export without any other test.
