Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 204 ℃ (400 °F). For short-term exposure, it can withstand up to 260 ℃ (500 °F) for 1 hour and 232 ℃ (450 °F) for 8 hours.
Q
What is the cable breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a breaking strength of 66 kN (15,000 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 33 kN (7,500 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Q
What insulation materials are used, and what are their outer diameters?
The cable uses two 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 rated for high-temperature downhole environments.
Q
What is the voltage rating and insulation resistance of this cable?
The cable is rated at 1500 VDC. It offers an insulation resistance of 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), ensuring excellent electrical isolation performance even under demanding downhole conditions.
Q
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter for this cable?
The minimum sheave diameter for this cable is 600 mm (23.6"). Using a sheave smaller than this specification may cause mechanical damage to the armor wires and reduce the service life of the cable.
Q
What are the armor wire specifications and their breaking strength?
The cable features a double-armor construction. The inner armor consists of 12 wires at 1.11 mm diameter, and the outer armor consists of 18 wires at 1.11 mm diameter. Both inner and outer armor wires have an average breaking strength of 2514 N (565 lbs) per wire.
