Paper: The Effects of Power Supply Integrity On Electric Submergible Pumping Systems

Little has been written regarding the effects of electric power integrity on submergible pumping systems. The remoteness of a site and/or the economics of the distribution system can result in power which affects equipment life and efficiency. Other installed electric devices or systems can also impact the quality of supply. The purpose of this paper is not to condemn the circumstances which lead to deficient power supply situations, but rather to address their effects and discuss practical means of correcting or minimizing their effects.
