IEEE Recommended Practice for Testing of Electric Submersible Pump Cable - Redline
Abstract
Procedures and test voltage values for factory, acceptance, and maintenance testing of electric submersible pump (ESP) cable systems are presented. This recommended practice applies to cable systems rated 3 kV through 8 kV (phase to phase) and is intended only for this special purpose cable. The intent is to provide uniform test procedures and guidelines for evaluation of the test results.Scope
Procedures and test voltage values for factory, acceptance and maintenance testing of ESP cable systems are presented. Installation and handling practices are also covered. This procedure applies to cable systems rated 3 kV through 8 kV (phase to phase).
Purpose
The purpose of this recommended practice is as follows: a) Provide a guideline for performing ESP cable factory, acceptance and maintenance tests. b) Provide guidelines for evaluation and interpretation of the test results. c) Define terms that have a specific meaning to the recommended practice.
