Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 200 ℃ (392 °F). For short-duration operations, it can withstand up to 232 ℃ (450 °F) for 1 hour, or 216 ℃ (421 °F) for up to 8 hours.
Q
What is the cable's maximum voltage rating?
The cable is rated at 1200 VDC, making it suitable for high-voltage downhole electrical applications. The insulation resistance reaches 15,000 MΩ·km, ensuring excellent dielectric performance.
Q
What is the cable breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a breaking strength of 74 kN (16,650 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 37 kN (8,325 lbs), which represents a 2:1 safety factor relative to the breaking strength.
Q
What type of insulation material is used, and what are its properties?
The conductor is insulated with FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), applied to a diameter of 2.45 mm (0.0965"). FEP is chosen for its outstanding high-temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and low dielectric loss — ideal for harsh downhole environments.
Q
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter required for this cable?
The minimum sheave diameter for this cable is 460 mm (18 inches). Using a sheave smaller than this specification could cause permanent deformation of the armor wires or damage to the internal insulation.
Q
How is the armor construction designed for mechanical protection?
The cable features a dual-armor construction: an inner armor of 16×1.08 mm wires with an average breaking strength of 1,977 N (444 lbs), and an outer armor of 20×1.19 mm wires with a breaking strength of 2,401 N (540 lbs). This layered design provides superior crush resistance, tensile strength, and protection against torque in deep well operations.
