Abstract:The use of electrical motors in hostile environments continues to increase. One example is electrical submersible pumps used for oil and gas production. Additionally, ESPs are being used in wells with increasingly more expensive intervention costs and high productivity. As intervention costs increase, the necessity for longer downhole equipment life also increases. Go/No-Go tests such as hipot, surge test, insulation resistance and winding resistance are good to evaluate the actual (at the factory) condition o… Show more
