Field Testing of Submersible Cable
The increased number of installations of submersible pumps in the oilfield has brought about an increased need for decreasing the operating costs associated with the cable. The devices and methods of field testing the cable are explained, and the results of application of different testing parameters and techniques are evaluated. The effect of temperature on the insulating material is presented. Specifications and standards for manufacturing and factory testing of submersible cable are also discussed.
Compendium of electrical submersible pump systems testing criteria
The maturing electrical submersible pump industry has numerous recommended practices and procedures addressing various facets of the operation. Ascertaining the appropriate technique is tedious for experienced engineers as well as novices. Seldom are all the documents available at one location. This synopsis of all the industry practices provides a ready reference for testing, design, and application of electrical submersible pumping systems. An extensive bibliography identifies significant documents for further reference.
Class IE Cables for Nuclear Power Generating Stations
With the publication of IEEE Guide P 383 For Qualification Testing, it is appropriate to present typical data relating-to this document, and to briefly discuss its significance. Designed life performance for nuclear stations must be predicated for the most part on test data obtained from cable systems under simulated environmental conditions which are peculiar to this application. This paper presents data in the areas of (1) long time exposure to moisture at elevated temperature, (2) air oven heat aging, (3) simulated reactor radiation during normal operation as well as during and after a design basis event, and (4) flame testing of cables.
