Abstract :
The electric submersible pump unit consists of a pump powered by a medium-voltage three-phase induction motor. Starting the pump causes heavy dynamic stresses on the motor shaft and the mechanical connection between pump (impellers) and shaft. System models are developed to predict the electrical and mechanical conditions on starting
