IEEE 1017-1985

The purpose of this recommended practice is as follows: (1) To provide uniform procedures for performing high-voltage acceptance tests and maintenance tests on electric submersible pump cables in the field, (2) To provide guidelines for evaluation of the test results, (3) To define terms that have a specific meaning in the guide.

New IEEE Standard - Superseded. This document presents procedures and test voltage values for acceptance and maintenance testing of ESP cable systems. It applies to cable systems rated 3000 V and 5000 V. It is intended to apply only to this special purpose cable.
