FIELD: electricity.
SUBSTANCE: downhole system comprises a three-phase power cable, a source of supply, an electric submersible pump and a gauge. The cable stretches from the surface into a well and may provide supply to the three-phase motor with certain voltage and frequency. The source of supply is connected to the three-phase power cable and may produce AC for supplying to gauges, sending it along all three conductors of the three-phase power cable. The pump is connected to the three-phase power cable and comprises a three-phase motor receiving supply along the specified three-phase power cable. The gauge is connected to the three-phase power cable using a capacitance link with the possibility to receive AC of gauge supply. At the same time the value of the current voltage is lower than the value of the three-phase motor supply voltage, and frequency is higher than frequency of the three-phase motor supply voltage.
EFFECT: improved system of downhole gauge supply.
