THIS OPERATION NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE THE
MLE IS CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR.
1. Remove the fitting and ensure that the NPT threads have been Teflon taped.
2. Install the n fitting back into the base.
3. Remove the compression nut and ferrules.
4. Install compression nut and ferrules onto the capillary tubing ensuring the
correct ferrule orientation.
5. Place the capillary tubing with nut and ferrule into the fitting and tighten until one
thread only is visible on the fitting or until the fitting is hand tight using a 9/16”
end wrench.
6. Nipple up BHA and Discharge Sub.
7. Leave the fitting on the discharge sub hand tight so that it will leak fluid slightly.
8. Once the BHA and discharge sub is installed, POOH BHA and connect a
pressure test system to the Discharge pressure bleed port.
9. Remove pressure test system and install plug in port.
10. Fill the line with hydraulic fluid until fluid exits the pressure bleed port.
11. RIH BHA and tighten the pressure fitting on the discharge pressure port.
12. POOH BHA and remove plug from port.
13. Immediately install the pressure test system and pressure test to 5Kpsi for 10
min.
14. If the pressure remains constant +/- 20 psi, then the installation is complete, if
not, then repeats Steps 1-13.
Megger testing motor and cable
The motor and cable may be Megger tested if required using the following guidelines:
The output voltage of a Megger will exceed the breakdown voltage of the protective
MOV mounted on the fuse block. The MOV will conduct if a Megger is used, giving
incorrect readings. Disconnect the three-phase choke and fuse block from the motor
cable before testing. Do not Megger test the downhole equipment while any of the
surface components are connected to the motor power cable.
NOTE: MEGGER TEST THE SENSOR IN REVERSE POLARITY ONLY!!
