(a) providing a second power supply; and (b) providing a power source switching device operably to selectively switch the power cable between a powering mode in which the power cable is electrically coupled to the first power supply and a heating mode in which the power cable is electrically coupled to the second power supply.
Second power source 72 is connected to a central facility ground 94 so that the electrical circuit created in the heating mode is completed by grounding second power source 72 and electrical cable 18 to a common ground.
Having the electricity in the powering mode being carried by two cables 100 and 102 rather than one cable allows each of the cables 100 and 102 to be smaller than when a single cable is used because the powering electricity is shared between the two cables 100 and 102.

 Cable Paper Abstracts
Today, the cable installer has a true representation of what is happening to the cable and bodies throughout the water column and touchdown and, more importantly, he has the capability to control the seabed slack and placement of the cable.
Submarine cable installation quantity is dramatically increasing, new ships and new personnel are being used to meet this demand and today’s lighter cables are more difficult to install.
The cable path on the north (Maui) side of the channel imposed severe restrictions on the accuracy of cable placement on the bottom (±11.5m), while on the south (Kohala) side of the channel, very low cable bottom tensions were required to minimize the possibility of laying unacceptably long cable spans.

 Cable Experience
This project demonstrated that the use of the ICS to control the cable bottom tension and cable shape during cable retrieval operations could minimize (by a factor of 4 to 5) the length of cable that would be dragged on the ocean bottom.
In 1992, the Cable Lay Simulator was used to determine: (a) the placement accuracy expected for a specific set of cable laying equipment and oceanographic conditions, and (b) the degree of cable slack control that could be achieved to minimize the total length of cable used and avoid the use of additional expensive repeaters.
Makai analyzed the data, selected the cable path and verified that the route selected was acceptable relative to the known characteristics and limits of the power cable.

Kenneth Haigh's Cableships and Submarine Cables is an invaluable reference to the entire history of cable-laying, containing details of almost every cable company, cableship, and cables laid, from the 1840s to 1977.
Shaffner of Kentucky, praying for an amendment of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1857, entitled "An act to expedite telegraphic communication for the uses of the government in its foreign intercourse," so that the subsidy granted by the said act shall be general in its application to all Atlantic ocean telegraph lines.
She intersperses stories of the cable laying with religious homilies, but if one can ignore the heavy-handed moralistic interjections this short work does present an interesting picture of life aboard an early cable ship.
