Abstract
A power supply system (1001) according to the present disclosure supplies power to a relay apparatus (2) on a branching submarine cable branched from a trunk submarine cable by a branching apparatus (1). The power supply system (1001) according to the present disclosure supplies power to the relay apparatus (2) by a branching power supply path (BE) connected to a trunk power supply path (TE) provided in a trunk submarine cable. When power is supplied to the relay apparatus (2), the branching power supply path (BE) causes a current flowing from one side of the trunk submarine cable to flow to the relay apparatus (2), and then causes the current to turns back so that the current flows to the other side of the trunk submarine cable.
Claims8
A power supply system that supplies power to a relay apparatus on a branching submarine cable branched from a trunk submarine cable by a branching apparatus, wherein
- power is supplied to the relay apparatus by a branching power supply path connected to a trunk power supply path provided in the trunk submarine cable, and
- when power is supplied to the relay apparatus on the branching submarine cable, the branching power supply path causes a current flowing from one side of the trunk power supply path to flow to the relay apparatus, and then causes the current to turn back so that the current flows to the other side of the trunk power supply path.
A branching apparatus for branching a branching submarine cable from a trunk submarine cable, wherein
- a trunk power supply path provided in the trunk submarine cable and a branching power supply path that supplies power to a relay apparatus on the branching submarine cable are connected, and
- when power is supplied to the relay apparatus on the branching submarine cable, a current flowing from one side of the trunk power supply path flows to the relay apparatus, and a current flowing from the relay apparatus flows to the other side of the trunk power supply path.
A power supply method for supplying power to a relay apparatus on a branching submarine cable branched from a trunk submarine cable by a branching apparatus, wherein
- power is supplied to the relay apparatus by a branching power supply path connected to a trunk power supply path provided in the trunk submarine cable, and
- when power is supplied to the relay apparatus on the branching submarine cable, the branching power supply path causes a current flowing from one side of the trunk power supply path to flow to the relay apparatus, and then causes the current to turn back so that the current flows to the other side of the trunk power supply path.
