Description
Analyze ESP cable voltage drop, power loss, and sizing requirements. Critical for ensuring adequate voltage at the downhole motor.
Key Considerations:
- Voltage drop should not exceed 5% for optimal motor performance
- Cable temperature affects resistance
- Longer cables require larger AWG sizes
