Abstract
The bench tests results of submersible electric motor with downhole reactive power compensator are presented in this study. The decrease in the current consumption by 13 % and the increase in the power factor from 0.84 to 0.95 are recorded according to the test results. A simulation model of a submersible electric motor with a downhole reactive power compensator is developed. The data obtained on the simulation model are compared with the bench tests results. It is found that the discrepancy between the calculated and experimental data is less than 10 %. Consequently, the simulation model adequately reflects the electromechanical processes of the real object.
