5kV ESP Cable | EPDM Insulated, Lead Sheathed & Galvanized Steel Armor | IEEE 1017.2 | 232°C Rating

Product Overview: 5kV High-Temperature ESP Cable

This product is a specialized Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) power cable designed for demanding downhole applications. It features a robust construction with EPDM insulation and a lead alloy sheath, protected by an outer single-layer galvanized steel tape armor. Rated for 5kV systems, it is engineered to withstand the high temperatures and harsh environments typical of oil well operations, with a maximum continuous conductor operating temperature of 232°C (450°F).

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Temperature Endurance: EPDM insulation provides excellent thermal stability, rated for continuous operation at up to 232°C (450°F).

• Robust Downhole Protection: The lead sheath offers superior resistance to gases, fluids, and mechanical pressure, while the external galvanized steel armor provides critical mechanical protection during installation and service.

• Integrated Capillary Tube: Includes a stainless steel capillary tube, a standard feature for many ESP systems used for chemical injection or pressure equalization.

• Industry Standard Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with IEEE 1017.2-2021, the standard for ESP cables.

Applications

This cable is primarily used to supply power to Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) in oil and gas production wells. It is suitable for direct deployment in the challenging downhole environment where high temperature, pressure, and exposure to well fluids are prevalent.

Technical Specifications

Construction Details

The cable is built in concentric layers for maximum durability:

1. Conductor: Compacted stranded copper.

2. Insulation: EPDM layer extruded directly over the conductor.

3. Barrier Sheath: A continuous Lead Alloy sheath extruded over the insulation.

4. Bedding: A fiber tape is applied over the lead sheath.

5. Capillary Tube: A stainless steel tube is laid parallel to the core.

6. Armor: A single layer of galvanized steel tape is helically applied with a gap, forming the final protective armor.
