Motor Lead Extensions (MLE)
Description
Motor Lead Extensions are used to supply power to ESP motors in oilfield applications and are an integral part of the system. Wadi El-Gattar ESP MLEs are reliable and designed to last, we supply only top quality components and KELB cable during manufacturing.
Specification
| Temperature |
230C / 450 F |
| Pothead Flange |
Ni-Resist 2 material epoxy sealed |
| Conductor AWG |
#4 (540/562 Series) or #6 (456/375 Series) |
| Conductor |
Three phase solid copper conductors |
| Kapton |
Two layers of 50% overlapped Polyimide tape are applied to the conductors to facilitate high thermal and electrical performance |
| EPDM |
A high-quality EPDM compound is bonded to each Kapton covered conductor. EPDM is formulated to provide high dielectric strength and low swell characteristics in the presence of oil and gas |
| Lead |
A continuous, impervious, fatigue and corrosion resistant lead sheath is extruded over the insulation to provide excellent protection against oil, chemicals and gases and insulation decompression. |
| Braid |
A synthetic braid, applied with full coverage over the lead sheath, provides additional mechanical reinforcement and hoop strength |
| Armor |
50% lapped, Monel, Stainless or Galvanized armor. |
| Testing |
Pressure: Cables are tested at intervals from 5 through to 40 PSI. Continuity: Ensure there are no break in Armor. Hi-Pot: Cables are tested to CSA standards for any electrical fault |
