Abstract
A submarine cable power feeding system includes N (N is an integer of 2 or larger) main submarine cables extending from the land in the offshore direction, N-stage (N is an integer of 2 or larger) submarine feed branching devices, and first to Nth (N is an integer of 2 or larger) sub submarine cables. Each submarine feed branching device is connected to the main submarine cable to receive constant-voltage power from a constant-voltage feed unit. Each sub submarine cable connects the Nth-stage submarine feed branching device, connected to the Nth main submarine cable, to the adjacent submarine feed branching device through submarine repeaters, thereby receiving power from a constant-current feed unit. Each constant-current feed unit is built in the submarine feed branching device. The submarine feed branching devices and the submarine repeaters are arranged in a matrix on a plane.
