Abstract
A submarine cable branching system includes a plurality of directional relays in respective power feed paths branched at a common node, each of the directional relays being energized by a current flowing through the power feed path in a predetermined direction for energizing a corresponding switch provided in a different power feed path to establish a bilateral feed path and further a unilateral feed path, wherein there is provided a bypassing switch across one of the switches that forms the bilateral feed path, such that the bypassing switch is urged to close in response to energization of a self-sustaining relay provided in the unilateral feed path.
