What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable's continuous maximum operating temperature is 246 ℃ (480 °F). For short-term exposure, it can withstand up to 260 ℃ (500 °F) for 8 hours, or up to 280 ℃ (540 °F) for 1 hour.
What is the cable breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a total breaking strength of 30 kN (6,700 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 15 kN (3,350 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength, ensuring a safe operating margin in downhole applications.
What type of insulation material is used, and what is the insulated outer diameter?
The cable uses PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) insulation, which offers excellent high-temperature and chemical resistance. The insulated outer diameter is 2.76 mm (0.1086"), contributing to the overall cable diameter of 5.60 mm.
What are the electrical specifications, including voltage rating and insulation resistance?
The cable is rated at 1200 VDC. The insulation resistance is 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), and the typical conductor resistance at 20 ℃ is 13.1 Ω/km (4.0 Ω/kft). Capacitance at 1 kHz measures 220 pF/m (67 pF/ft).
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter required for this cable?
The minimum sheave diameter for this cable is 320 mm (13 inches). Using sheaves smaller than this minimum specification may cause permanent deformation or damage to the armor wires and internal conductor.
How is the armor construction designed, and what are the individual wire breaking strengths?
The cable features a double-armor construction. The inner armor consists of 15 wires at 0.61 mm (0.0240") diameter with an average wire breaking strength of 600 N (135 lbs). The outer armor consists of 15 wires at 0.89 mm (0.0350") diameter with a wire breaking strength of 1,300 N (292 lbs), providing robust mechanical protection.
