The line current is applied to a special conductor which is a constituent element of the cable: the power feeding conductor.
The resistance of this conductor varies between 0.70 ohm and 1.6 ohm per kilometer, according to the constructor of cable.
Example:
NOTE: This resistance is generally specified for a given temperature.
Ex.: R = 1 /km for T0 = 12C
The correction law is for a cupper conductor:
R1 = R0 [1 + 0.004 (T0 - T1)]
where R0 is the resistance at T0 C
and R1 is the resistance at T1 C

Elements of calculation of the line voltage
The line voltage, VL, takes into account:
The voltage drops due to the submerged units :
The voltage drops at each station level :
VINT = voltage drop due to the internal resistance of the equipment
VRET = voltage drop due to the current return circuit (sea earth)
Consequently, the line voltage will be such as:
P.F.E. Voltage
The PFE must be able to generate the line current IL in all circumstances and to face environmental disturbances: earth potential fluctuations, storm, temperature variations, telluric currents, ...
For that, a virtual voltage - the earth voltage - (VEARTH) is taken into account and added to VL to determine the voltage rate of the PFE:
VEARTH can be estimated from the length and the orientation of the link:
VEARTH = 0.3 V/km max for a West-East link
= 0.03 V/km max for a North-South link
- Vcable = voltage drop due to the cable itself = V/km x Lkm =R/km x IL x Lkm
(Lkm must take into account the land cable length)
- VREP = total voltage required to supply the n repeaters with thenumber of sub-systems equipping the link in question
= n x V/REP
- VBU = voltage drop due to the possible Branching Unit(s)= VBU1 (+VBU2 + ....)
VC =Vcable +VREP (+VBU )
In double-end feeding mode
VL = VC + 2VINT + 2VRETVL = VC + VINT + VRET
VPFE = VL + VEARTH
In single-end feeding mode

In case of double-end fed system, both current sources can only work in series so long as the outputs of both units are regulated to the same current level. In order to meet this requirement each PFE has to work in a different regulation mode :
Current regulation mode : the PFE controls the current to within the allowed limits
Voltage regulation mode : the PFE operates at a predetermined output voltage and has no control over the line current unless the line current it sees rises changes by 40mA
To configure the Power Feeding System in this situation the procedure consists to:
1. Ramp up the PFE which is designed to operate in current regulation mode:
the current and voltage increase progressively and simultaneously up to the single-end feeding operating point (G);
Note that the ramp shape is a voltage mode but the PFE switches to current mode when it passes the voltage mode switch point
The current rise is controlled at x mA/sec.
at G point, the PFE is locked in current regulation mode
NOTE: This sequence will be used also to ramp up a branch
2. Ramp up the PFE which is designed to operate in voltage regulation mode
the current and voltage increase quickly up to the double-end feeding operating point (C);
simultaneously, the voltage produced by the opposite PFE decreases to the same operating point (C);
at C point, the second PFE is locked in voltage regulation mode.
Vsyst. is the voltage that the PFE may be expected to feed in a particular powering configuration when it is not sharing with a distant PFE. On a primary trunk it will be the end-to-end voltage whereas on branches and secondary branches it is the voltage to branching unit earth.
Vshare. is the voltage at which a PFE is expected to share when double end feeding. With no fault on the trunk the share voltage can be set by the PFE, usually at approximately half the system voltage.

CONTROL CUBICLE
The PFE organization is modular, it depends on :
The power (the voltage and current) to be applied to the cable
The level of protection.
The PFE is composed by :
A Power Unit (P.U.) which convert the low battery voltage (50V) to high voltage with the help of DC-DC converters
each converter is able to provide a power from 0 to 3 KW
Up to 6 converters can be connected in series, in order to provide the required line power: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 kW.
The P.U. can be duplicated in order to improve the operation safety. Both P.U. operate in current sharing mode but each one is able to generate the nominal current.
If either P.U. fails, the other one supplies automatically the total line current
A dummy load unit, allowing to test locally the operation of the Power Unit(s)
A cable terminating unit which provides the following functions :
Termination of the submarine cable
Termination of the system earth cable
Monitoring of the station and sea earth currents
Protection against surge voltage on the earth circuits
An anti surge coil (always fitted) but not necessary wired in.

1.3 Hardware Organization
6 KW Unduplicated PFE
According to the power rate, the hardware configuration of a P.U. is chosen from:
The voltage required by the link and the nominal current.
Each converter supplies 3kW, and is strapped to optimize the voltage at different currents.
The safety voltage margin.
Because of the amount of heat generated in the converter cubicle, when equipped with 5 converters running at 3kW, an improved heat management solution is implemented. The feature uses long-life speed control fans to cool the converter by drawing air past the converter heat sinks, from the bottom of the cubicle. Two new boards located at the top of the converter cubicle manage the fans (control of their speed according to the temperature).
NOTE: In case of low power P.U. (3KW), the Dummy load is integrated in the Cable Terminating Cubicle.

1.3 Hardware Organization [cont.]
6 KW Duplicated PFE
According to the required protection level, the P.U. can be duplicated, as a general rule.
But it will be duplicated, in particular:
In case of link normally supplied in single-end feeding mode.
Ex: PFE supplying a branch in a multi-point system.
In case of a very long link, normally supplied in double-end feeding mode, but for which each PFE is
unable to produce, alone, the total line voltage.
Ex: A trunk for which VL = 16 kV. It will be supplied, from both ends, by two 12 kV withduplicated P.U.

System Earth is used in normal condition
In case of System Earth cable break, the two earths will be link together
within the PFE
For maintenance convenience, the earth configuration may be switched
without effecting traffic
A dedicated PFE System Earth, separate from the Station Earth array is to be installed for the following
main reasons:
to prevent the corrosion of the Station Earth (mainly for negative PFE)
to increase the immunity to possible interference induced along the terrestrial cable route or generated through the ground.
to prevent noise on the power feeding equipment effecting other equipment in the station.
For safety and redundancy reasons in the case of a System Earth cable cut, a clamping system will links
the two earths within the PFE and limit their voltage difference to 60V. The design of the PFE allows for variations of this 60V limit if required on a contract.
R4.4 uses a new earth monitoring circuit which improves the earth measurement isolation.

Power conversion :
The high voltage is obtained by converting a low voltage into a high voltage (0 to 12 kV) by means of 1 to 6 DC-DC identical converters using the HF switching.
The conversion and regulation are driven from the control and management unit
Each converter :
Is fed from a low voltage (48 VDC)
Is able to provide a high voltage from 0 to 3 kW
Regulates its output current at IN (N being the number of working converters).
The converters are connected:
In parallel at the input (low voltage) side
In series at the output (high voltage) side.
Because of the amount of heat generated in the converter cubicle, when equipped with 5 converters running at 3kW, an improved heat management solution is implemented. The feature uses long-life speed control fans to cool the converter by drawing air past the converter heat sinks, from the bottom of the cubicle.

Regulation Loop
General principle
The power converter regulation function is implemented by a regulation loop made up of: A set of measuring circuits having for purpose to sample the current and voltage:
At the P.U. level At the common output level.
This duplication of the monitoring circuit enables to cover all the PFE configurations: Only one P.U. supplying the cable (or the Dummy Load) with the total line current Both P.U.s working in parallel and sharing the total line current.
A Current Control Unit, located in the logic shelf, which receives and processes the I and V
values transmitted by the Monitoring circuits by optical fibres.
Current sharing between both P.U.s
Both Power Units operate normally in parallel with each one supplying a portion of the line current.
In this case, the P.U. and Common Voltage / Current measurements are sent to the Current Control Card where they are compared to their reference values.
Each P.U. regulates its output current at approximately half of the total current value received from the common I/V monitoring boards.
Actually the common current is not exactly shared between both P.U.s:
The P.U. which is started at first generates 55 % of IN
The other P.U. generates 45 % of IN

The Dummy Load is designed to test the P.U.(s).
The conditions of this test depend on the PFE configuration:
The P.U. is not duplicated:
If necessary, the system must be reconfigured to supply the segment or the branch from an other end
The cable is connected to the earth by setting the Routing switch to "Dummy Load".
The P.U. is duplicated:
only one P.U. has to be tested
the cable continues to be supplied by the other P.U.
both P.U. have to be tested
same situation as in case of duplicated P.U.

The high voltage from the Power Unit(s) is applied to a set of rheostats.
All the rheostats are connected in series to form a variable resistor by means of which it is possible to make the P.U. output voltage move from zero to a level corresponding to the maximum voltage available at the output of PFE.
Consequently the total resistance (and the number of rheostats) depends on the PFE output current and voltage.
The dummy load is completed by:
a Filter panel, which connects the 50 VDC supply and includes a 50 V low-pass filter and an on/off switch (S1)
a fan unit
a control unit which processes the data received from the P.U.s and generates the commands to control the dummy load devices. This unit is of the same design as the alarm concentrator unit. In a combine CT/DLC the function is performed by the alarm concentrator at the top of the cubicle.
R4.4 includes a new fan control processing.

PCN (Power Configuration Number)
At each PFE a set of powering-up sequences is proposed to the operator to define:
The way for ramping-up the PFE.
The running characteristics.
PCN specifies the configuration that the system will be powered up in. In some situation the same sequence number is used in several PCNs
CONSEQUENTLY, THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE SEQUENCE AND THE PCN IS SPECIFIC TO EACH STATION
The PCN specifies:
The current ramp shape.
The current ramping rate(s).
The regulation mode.
The level of the possible current step.
The System voltage (Vsyst) : the voltage that the PFE may be expected to feed, in a given configuration, when it is not sharing with a distant PFE.
The Share voltage (Vshare) : the voltage at which a PFE is expected to share in double-end feeding mode.
The limit voltage (Vlim) : the voltage at which the current starts reducing to zero ; it is set at Vsyst + 20 % or Vsyst + 400 V whichever is the greater.
PCN change in service to facilitate R3.5 BU configuration
Contrarily to previous BU releases, R3.5 BUs do not need to return to un-powered status to be reconfigured, then, the system has to change from one PCN (power configuration number) to another in service.
