Fundamental Technologies and Devices Power Feeding Equipment for Optical Submarine Cable Systems KANEKO Tomoyuki, CHIBA Yoshinori, KUNIMI Kaneaki, NAKAMURA Tomotaka Abstract A submarine cable system is fed power from power feeding equipment that supplies constant current. Such power feeding equipment is expected to enable an ultra-high voltage output to supply power for long-distance submarine cable systems, as well as supporting long-period operations. This paper introduces power feeding equipment for application to NEC’s submarine cable systems that achieves compact, high voltage and high reliability characteristics.
