The Cable Monitoring And Rating System (CMARS) Project Team was charged with evaluating and validating a CMARS, consisting of a real-time computer based model and data acquisition system. This report was produced to serve as a guideline for specifying or installing a CMARS on a transmission system. The report discusses how the Project Team implemented Systems Control's CMARS model and a data acquisition system on three transmission circuits. In addition the report describes the performance of the model, data acquisition system and physical response of the cable system.
