IEEE 1019-2004

This recommended practice establishes requirements for three-conductor round-and-flat-type oil-well cableused in supplying three-phase ac electric power to submersible pump motors. The major cable components are copper conductors, polypropylene insulation, polymeric jacket, and galvanized armor. Cables meeting the requirements of this recommended practice should be rated for voltages not exceeding 3 kV or 5 kV (phase to phase). Perform 5 year review and updates for advances in submersible pump cable technology. Revision Standard - Superseded. Minimum requirements for the construction, manufacturing, purchasing, and application of electric submersible pump cable are presented. The cable is round or flat, with polypropylene rubber insulation, nitrile jacket, and armor. These cables are for voltages not exceeding 3 kV or 5 kV (phase to phase) and conductor temperatures not exceeding 96 ºC (205 ºF) for nitrile or a maximum of -10 ºC (14 ºF). Conductors, insulation, assembly and jacket, armor, requirements for testing by the manufacturer, and cable ampacity are covered.
