Spark-Limiting ESP Controls
Click to expand.
Modern ESP voltage controls use sparking as a gauge for maximizing the applied voltage in the collecting fields. This provides maximum ESP collection efficiencies. The controls can sense a spark and extinguish (quench) it before any damage occurs.
Optimal spark rates for specific ESPs and/or bus sections can be determined through an evaluation of voltage control data, ESP design and the process stream.
