IEEE Recommended Practice for Specifying Electric Submersible Pump Cable—Polypropylene Insulation
Revision Standard - Superseded.
Minimum requirements for the design, construction, manufacturing, testing, purchasing, and application of electric submersible pump cable are presented.
The cable is round or flat, with polypropylene rubber insulation, nitrile or polyethylene jacket, and armor.
These cables are for voltages not exceeding 3 kV or 5 kV (phase to phase) and conductor temperatures not exceeding 96 ºC (205 ºF) maximum for nitrile or a maximum minimum of -10 ºC (14 ºF) minimum.
Conductors, insulation, assembly and with or without jacket, armor, requirements for testing by the manufacturer, and cable ampacity are all covered in the document.
This recommended practice establishes requirements for three-conductor round-and-flat-type oil-well cable used in supplying three-phase ac electric power to submersible pump motors.
The major cable components are copper conductors, polypropylene insulation, polymeric jacket, and galvanized metallic armor.
Guidelines for Specifying ESP Cable with Polypropylene Insulation:
Ensure that the cable insulation is made of high-quality polypropylene material to provide excellent electrical and mechanical properties.
Verify that the insulation thickness meets the required standards to withstand the operational voltage and environmental conditions.
Confirm that the cable design includes adequate shielding and jacketing to protect against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage.
Check for compliance with relevant industry standards and certifications to ensure safety and reliability.
Consider the cable's thermal rating to ensure it can operate effectively within the expected temperature range.
Specify the conductor size and construction to match the load requirements and minimize voltage drop.
Include details on the cable's flexibility and bending radius to facilitate installation in the intended application.
Assess the compatibility of the polypropylene insulation with the operating environment, including exposure to oils, solvents, and UV radiation.
Provide clear documentation on the cable's electrical characteristics, such as insulation resistance, dielectric strength, and capacitance.
