This recommended practice, under the jurisdiction of the Petroleum an

Overview 1.1 Background Guidance for the field and maintenance testing of conventional power cable is available in IEEE Std 400 1; however, that document is not an applicable guide in assessing the condition of electric subme
36、rsible pump (ESP) cable. By adopting some principles set forth in IEEE Std 400 and applying others developed from field experience, this recommended practice for submersible cable testing will assist those persons with the responsibility of determining the dielectric condition of this type of cable.
37、 This recommended practice proposes the use of direct current (dc) because of its advantages over alternating current (ac). These advantages are as follows: a) Smaller test equipment may be used b) It minimizes damage when a fault occurs, which aids in fault examination c) Improved safety due to sma
38、ller charging current compared to conventional frequency testing 1Information on references can be found in Clause 2. IEEE Std 1017-2013 IEEE Recommended Practice for Field Testing Electric Submersible Pump Cable Copyright 2013 IEEE. All rights reserved. 2 This recommended practice is for cables wit
39、hout a connecting motor-lead extension cable or surface connecting cable, and it is primarily for armored cables; however, unarmored cables can be tested by submersing them in water. This recommended practice does not require that testing be performed, either at the time of installation or periodica
40、lly thereafter, for acceptance or maintenance. It sets forth the consensus of currently known good practice in testing methods, with interpretation of results. 1.2 Scope Procedures and test voltage values for acceptance and maintenance testing of ESP cable systems are presented. Installation and han
41、dling practices are also covered. This procedure applies to cable systems rated 3 kV and 5 kV (phase to phase). 1.3 Purpose The purpose of this recommended practice is as follows: a) Provide a guideline for performing leakage current test so it can be used as a cable quality tool b) Provide guidelin
42、es for evaluation of the test results c) Define terms that have a specific meaning to the recommended practice 2.

48、 test to help verify the electrical integrity of the cable. acceptance test: This test is intended to help detect damage before the initial installation of new cable. These tests are normally performed by the user or the designated representative using dc voltage at 80% of the factory test voltage.
49、capacitance current: Current required to charge the capacitor formed by the dielectric of the cable under test. dc test: This test is performed by the manufacturer to help verify the electrical integrity of the cable. The conductance leakage current is used as a comparative measurement, and the dc voltage can be used as a pass/fail test. electric submersible pumps (ESPs): Equipment that refers to electric-driven, deep-well centrifugal pumps as commonly used to lift fluids from subsurface formations.
