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.

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.

Procedures and test voltage values for acceptance and maintenance testing of electrical submersible pump (ESP) cable systems are presented. This recommended practice applies to cable systems rated 3 kV and 5 kV (phase to phase) and is intended only for this special-purpose cable. The intent is to provide uniform test procedures and guidelines for evaluation of the test results.

Minimum requirements for the construction, manufacturing, purchasing, and application of electric submersible pump cable are presented. The cable is round or flat, with ethylene? propylene rubber insulation, nitrile jacket, ethylene?propylene diene monomer (EPDM) jacket or lead sheath, and armor. These cables are for voltages not exceeding 3 kV or 5 kV (phase to phase) and conductor temperatures not exceeding 140 ?C (284 ?F) for nitrile or a maximum of 204 ?C (400 ?F) for EPDM jacket or lead sheath cable. Conductors, insulation, barrier (optional), assembly and jacket, armor, requirements for testing by the manufacturer, and cable ampacity are covered.
