IEEE Guide for the Planning, Design, Installation, and Repair of Submarine Power Cable Systems

Abstract

This guide provides a list of factors to consider when planning, designing, permitting, installing, commissioning, and repairing submarine power cable systems. While many factors are common to both power and communication cables, this guide focuses on power cables that cross seas, lakes, and rivers

Scope

This guide provides a list of factors to consider when planning, designing, permitting, installing, commissioning and repairing submarine power cable systems. While many factors are common to both power and communication cable, this guide focuses on power cables.

Purpose

The existing guide is an outline of factors to be consider, with few explanatory notes. It assumes the user is knowledgeable on the topic of submarine cable systems. This guide is being revised so it will have value to a broader audience, including the inexperienced engineer. This is accomplished by expanding the breadth of topics covered and by adding explanations.
