IEEE Recommended Practice for Specifying Electric Submersible Pump Cable - Ethylene-Propylene Rubber Insulation
standard by IEEE, 04/13/2005
Full Description
Scope
This recommended practice establishes requirements for three-conductor new round-and-flat-type oil-well cables used in supplying three-phase ac electric power to submersible pump motors. The three major cables by components are copper conductors, ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) insulation, nitrile jacket and galvanized armor.
Purpose
Perform 5 year review and updates for advances in submersible pump cable technology.
Abstract
Revision Standard - Superseded.Minimum requirements for the construction, manufacturing, purchasing, and application of electric submersible pump cable are presented. The cable is round or flat, with ethylene¿¿¿ propylene rubber insulation, nitrile jacket, ethylene¿¿¿propylene diene monomer (EPDM) jacket or lead sheath, and armor. These cables are for voltages not exceeding 3 kV or 5 kV (phase to phase) and conductor temperatures not exceeding 140 A?C (284 A?F) for nitrile or a maximum of 204 A?C (400 A?F) for EPDM jacket or lead sheath cable. Conductors, insulation, barrier (optional), assembly and jacket, armor, requirements for testing by the manufacturer, and cable ampacity are covered.
