FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable is rated for a continuous maximum temperature of 121 ℃ (250 °F). For short-term use, it can withstand up to 135 ℃ (275 °F) for 8 hours, and up to 150 ℃ (300 °F) for 1 hour.
Q
What is the cable breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a total breaking strength of 109 kN (24,500 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 54.5 kN (12,250 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength — a standard safety factor for downhole cable applications.
Q
What voltage rating does this cable support?
This cable carries a voltage rating of 1200 VDC, making it suitable for a wide range of downhole electrical submersible pump (ESP) and logging tool applications that operate within this voltage range.
Q
What type of insulation material is used, and what are its dimensions?
The cable uses Polypropylene (PP) insulation with a diameter of 2.13 mm (0.0838"). PP insulation offers excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and dielectric performance in harsh downhole environments.
Q
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter for this cable?
The minimum sheave diameter is 670 mm (26.4"). Using a sheave smaller than this specification may cause mechanical fatigue, kinking, or damage to the armor wires, which could compromise cable integrity and performance.
Q
What is the insulation resistance value and why does it matter?
The insulation resistance is rated at 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft). A high insulation resistance value is critical for downhole cables as it ensures minimal current leakage, protects connected instruments, and indicates the long-term dielectric integrity of the cable under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
