Summary
This paper presents the type testing of a ±525 kV HVDC MI cable system developed for installation at a record-breaking water depth of 3000 m. The cable system has been successfully type tested in accordance with relevant CIGRE recommendations and specific client requirements. The qualification pertains to the Great Sea Interconnector project, a 1000 MW,

Cyprus. The route comprises approximately 900 km of submarine cable and over 23 km of land cable, resulting in a total cable length of approximately 1850 km. This project thus represents not only the world’s deepest submarine power cable installation, but also the longest.
