What is a submersible pump cable?

Just as the name sounds, a submersible pump cable is an electrical conductor that is specifically made to bring power to your submersible pump. A submersible pump (or sub pump / Sump Pump, electric submersible pump (ESP)) is a device that has a hermetically sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body. The whole assembly is submerged in the fluid to be pumped. The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation, a problem associated with a high elevation difference between the pump and the fluid surface. Submersible pumps push fluid to the surface, rather than jet pumps, which create a vacuum and rely upon atmospheric pressure. Submersibles use pressurized fluid from the surface to drive a hydraulic motor downhole, rather than an electric motor and are used in heavy oil applications with heated water as the motive fluid. A Sub Pump cable can be a multitude of sizes, most commonly 16 AWG through 6 AWG, but can also be much bigger for larger loads. We manufacture your submersible pump cables in many different construction and types, including multi-conductor flat, round, shielded, non-shielded, armored, non-armored, extra flexible, and always certified to be submerged in water!

All about Armored submersible pump cable

Armored Copper Sub-Pump Wire

Surprisingly, yes, our submersible pump cable comes with the option of adding many different types of armor to the exterior to offer your cable even greater protection. Some of our most popular armor types for Sub-Pump Wire are:

  •  Galvanized Steel Interlocking Armor (GSIA)
  • Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA)
  • Continuous Corrugated Weld Armor (CCW)
  • Galvanized Steel Wire Armor (SWA)
  • Copper Concentric Neutral Armor (CN)
  • Bronze Braid Armor (BBA)

Additionally, we can often combine these armor types to create a substantially more rugged armored submersible pump cable design. In fact, a Bronze Brad Armor with a submersible sheath, within a galvanized steel interlocking armor is very similar to our Submarine Cable for inland lakes and rivers and can be submerged into depths far greater than a standard sub-pump cable.

Typical Uses for Armored Submersible Cable 

Typically, the armored submersible cable is used for electric pumps or other electrical equipment that are at great depth. Additionally, there are often deepwater applications that may present more danger to the cables and equipment. Along with taking other subversive measures such as running your cable in a pipe, buried, or under a rock mattress, armoring your submersible cable is a major step many customers take to ensure their investment is protected.   As the video above states, TEST OUT METAL! 1X Technologies is the premier manufacturer of armored submersible cables for pumps and other applications which require underwater power cables. 

 

 

Multi-Conductor Sub-Pump Cable Uses / Types / References

While 1X Technologies supplies you with all the standard sizes of sub-pump cable, we also have multi-conductor submersible pump cables in stock up to 60 conductors from 18 AWG through 10 AWG. In the larger sizes, we can produce your extra-large sub-ump wire up to 6000 KCMIL and up to an outside diameter of 6 inches.

Multi-Conductor Submersible Pump Cable
Multi-Conductor Submersible Pump Cable from 1X Technologies

In the past, we have produced submersible pump cables with up to 200 Conductors, but we have the capability to produce a multi-conductor submersible cable with thousands of conductors for your job. Just let us know what you need, we are happy to help and do it all the time! 

 

 

Why Use a Flat Sub-Pump Cable? Why use a round pump cable? 

Why Flat? 

The simplicity of a flat 1X Technologies cable design, with its parallel conductor geometry, eliminates many of your most common sources of wiring error and malfunction in your festoon cable system.

 

A key to manufacturing flat submersible pump cable e is registration of your conductors, It is one-to-one with the terminating connector or board so that proper contact assignment is nearly automatic. Flat electrical pump cables also fold and bend readily, conforming to the mounting area on your machine. Flat flexible sub-pump Cables fasten easily with clamps, adhesive, or double-faced tape. Since the conductors are visible and in a fixed position within the dielectric coding, inspection and circuit tracing are simplified for you, making for an easy hook-up. And, because your conductor spacing is fixed and the geometry of the cable is constant, the electrical characteristics such as impedance, capacitance, inductance, time delay, crosstalk, and attenuation are consistent in your festooning system.

 

Why Round? 

The reason round submersible pump cable is used is because of our ability to manufacture much larger AWG size wires, with more copper and aluminum and more flexible insulation. All of these materials help you to have better electrical performance compared to other constructions that do not allow larger cables to be produced. The biggest cables are always round, and we manufacture the largest cables in the world! 

 

 

 

Are there Aluminum Pump Cables available to buy for deep wells?

Yes. Like a unicorn, an aluminum conductor is rarely seen when it comes to submersible pump cable. However, when it comes to deep well electrical submersible pumps, especially those requiring armored cable have the unique opportunity to substitute the more costly copper conductor for an aluminum conductor. 1X Technologies manufactures and supplies aluminum wire & cable from 600 volts through 550,000 volts / 550kV.
 
 
Aluminum conductors within galvanized steel interlocking armor with a submersible XLPO Sheath 1XTECH AL Submersible Power Cables
 
Just keep in mind when ordering your aluminum sub-pump cable that you need to go up two sizes from copper to aluminum. So if you were ordering a 4 AWG Copper you would need to use a 2 AWG or possibly even a 1 AWG aluminum. Typically the cost is at least 50% less than copper when switching to aluminum, but with pump cable, there are usually multiple levels of armor and sheathing used when switching to aluminum so the cost may only be 20% to 30% less on a pump cable in aluminum.
