Showa Denko K.K. will open a demonstration and experiential lab environment called "Test Lab," equipped with one of the world's leading lightning test devices, within the Techno Center (Inage Ward, Chiba City) on August 6, 2025. The Test Lab is equipped with facilities such as a "lightning impulse current generator" capable of generating a current of 200 kA 10/350 μs, a "1200 kV (1.2 million V) lightning impulse voltage generator," and a "short-circuit current testing device," allowing for performance evaluations and verification experiments based on analysis of various products, including lightning protection products and power supply devices. Additionally, the Test Lab has renovated its control room observation area so that visitors can actually see the experiments and tests being conducted, providing a facility where they can experience the dynamic atmosphere of the testing process.
