This recommended practice establishes recommendations for three-conductor round and flat oil-well cables consisting of ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) insulated copper conductors used in supplying three-phase ac electric power to submersible pump motors. These cables may also include additional coverings consisting of wraps, metallic armor or barriers, and/or nonmetallic jackets or sheaths selected on the basis of mechanical and environmental conditions.
Revision Standard – Active. Minimum requirements for the design, construction, manufacturing, testing, purchasing, and application of electric submersible pump (ESP) cable are presented. The cable is round or flat, with ethylene-propylene rubber insulation, nitrile jacket, ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) jacket or metallic barrier, and armor or encapsulating material. These cables are for voltages not exceeding 8 kV (phase to phase) and conductor temperatures not exceeding 140 ºC (284 ºF) for nitrile or a maximum of 232 ºC (450 ºF) for EPDM jacket or metallic barrier cable. Conductors, insulation, barrier (optional), assembly with or without jacket, armor, requirements for testing by the manufacturer, and cable ampacity are all covered in the document.
