Abstract

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of matters concerned with ensuring reliable power supply and improving the electric power quality in the power supply systems of submersible electrical installations (SPUs) for oil production. The effect the SPU power supply system energy parameters have on the vibration arising in the system for both new and submersible electric motors (SEMs) that have already been in operation for a certain period of time has been studied. Vibration standards are formulated in order to monitor the technical condition of SEMs of various standard sizes and their components during incoming inspection and in the course of their bench tests after repair. Nonlinear dependences of the SPU vibration state on the SEM power supply system energy parameters are compiled. On the one hand, the study results provide new opportunities for scientifically substantiating the further development of submersible electrical equipment, and on the other hand, they are focused on their direct use by the operational engineering and technical personnel for correctly assessing the effects of various factors on the serviced equipment.
