Hi,
I'm a Mechanical Engineer at a company where make feedthru connector systems to run 3-phase submersible pump motors in oil wells. Our standard product is rated at 5kv and up to 210A. Typically we do dc hi-pot testing (1 minute @24kvdc, 5 microamps max leak) to validate the voltage rating...
I'm a ME designing electrical connectors and would like help understanding what I've observed in testing. The connectors under test are used to pass 3 phase current through pressure zones in oil wells and consist of large thick steel shells with 3 insulated conductors within. The surface...
We're considering developing a new connector design using a copper rod with .375-24 UNF thread, screwed into a PEEK insulator. The connector will be 5kv rated and the maximum conductor temp will be 300F. We're concerned about corona between the copper and PEEK in the threaded area, but we don't...
