The efficiency of the electric motor of a subsurface pump with reciprocating action and losses in a leading-in cable

Abstract

The interdependence of loss in an alternating-current converter-fed motor with a frequency and level of supply voltage for an alternating-current converter-fed reciprocating action motor is shown in this work. The equations for efficiency of a supply cable with a length up to 3 km are presented. The influence of a step-down transformer and frequency converter on the losses was considered. It is determined that the line losses are commensurable with the motor losses. In this case, the line efficiency can be matched with the load and the efficiency reduced up to 50%. In addition, the transmission of practically maximum power to the motor is provided. The possibility of using the line losses for warming up a liquid is shown. In the case of a need to warm up a liquid warming, the current of the motor should have the rated value and the voltage frequency should be minimum. To decrease the losses in the line and in the motor, it is necessary to increase the voltage frequency to the rated value. Thus, it is determined whether the voltage frequency should be reduced or increased at the rated motor current. The expressions to calculate the necessary number of the modules of motor at the set well depth are presented. It is shown that, for depths 1, 2, and 3 km, it is possible to use the standard voltages of 380, 660, and 1000 V, respectively. With increasing well depth, the number of motor modules rises, which leads an increase in the voltage proportional to the well depth. An interdependence of the supply voltage of several motor modules with a well depth up to 10 km is obtained.
