About This Item
IEEE 1017-1985 is the recommended practice for field testing electric submersible pump cable, providing a focused technical basis for checking cable performance in power, energy, and industrial applications. It addresses how these cables are evaluated outside the lab, where installation conditions and operating stress can affect results. For engineers, maintenance teams, and purchasers, the standard helps support more consistent testing, better equipment decisions, and lower risk when working with submersible pumping systems.
What is IEEE 1017-1985?
IEEE 1017-1985 defines guidance for field testing the cable used with electric submersible pumps. Its purpose is to support practical verification of cable condition and electrical integrity under service-like conditions. As a recommended practice, it is especially relevant where pump cables must perform reliably in demanding environments and where test results may influence acceptance, troubleshooting, or maintenance decisions. The document helps align testing methods with the specific needs of submersible pump installations.
Where is IEEE 1017-1985 used?
This standard is used in settings that rely on electric submersible pump systems, including pumping applications in industrial and energy-related operations. It is relevant during field inspection, commissioning support, maintenance testing, and fault investigation of pump cable assemblies. IEEE 1017-1985 is particularly useful when crews need to assess cable behavior on installed equipment rather than in a controlled laboratory setting, making it a practical reference for operational testing workflows.
Why is IEEE 1017-1985 important?
IEEE 1017-1985 matters because field testing can help confirm whether an electric submersible pump cable is suitable for continued service or needs corrective action. Using a recognized practice supports more consistent results, clearer acceptance criteria, and better coordination between design, maintenance, and procurement teams. It can also help reduce downtime and avoid unnecessary replacement by identifying cable issues early, before they affect pump performance or system reliability.
