Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What type of insulation materials are used in this cable?
This cable utilizes two high-performance insulation options: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) with an outer diameter of 2.85 mm (0.1122"), and ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) with an outer diameter of 3.81 mm (0.1496"). Both materials are chosen for their excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance in demanding downhole environments.
Q
What is the maximum operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports three temperature ratings depending on duration: 260 °C (500 °F) for up to 1 hour, 232 °C (450 °F) for up to 8 hours, and a continuous maximum operating temperature of 204 °C (400 °F). These ratings make it suitable for high-temperature ESP and downhole pump applications.
Q
What is the cable's breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a total breaking strength of 45 kN (10,125 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 22.5 kN (5,062.5 lbs), which is exactly 50% of the breaking strength — a standard safety factor applied to ensure long-term mechanical reliability during installation and operation.
Q
What voltage rating does this cable support?
This cable is rated at 1500 VDC, with an insulation resistance of 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft) and a conductor resistance of 9.2 Ω/km (2.8 Ω/kft) at 20 °C. These electrical characteristics make it well-suited for ESP motor power supply in oil and gas well applications.
Q
What is the armor construction of this cable?
The cable features a dual-armor design: an inner armor consisting of 12 wires × 1.11 mm diameter, and an outer armor consisting of 18 wires × 1.11 mm diameter. Each wire has an average breaking strength of 1,644 N (370 lbs), providing robust mechanical protection against crush, abrasion, and tension loads during deployment.
Q
What is the minimum sheave (pulley) diameter recommended for this cable?
The minimum recommended sheave diameter is 450 mm (18"). Using sheaves smaller than this specification may cause excessive bending stress on the armor wires and insulation, potentially reducing the cable's service life or causing premature failure. Always follow this guideline during spooling and deployment operations.
