| Abstract | Two large scale tests were conducted to examine the technical feasibility of the Hawaii Deep Water Cable. The first was the laboratory test where the cable was subjected to the electrical and mechanical loads expected during thirty year service. Second, the at sea tests examined the ability of the project developed, integrated control system to place the cable on the bottom accurately and to control the residual tension. The conclusion of the tests is that all the requirements have been met. |
