The new BIW field attachable Packer Feedthru System launched by ITT Interconnect Solutions provides a faster method of passing power cables through packers. Consisting of a field attachable feedthru connector, a mating attachable cable connector, a cross-over adapter and related hardware, this new system allows the connector to be installed on the top side of a packer using a cross-over adapter, eliminating the need for splicing of downhole cables.

Potential stress on the cable is eliminated as the packer feedthru includes a completely variable threaded adjustment system, allowing vertical adjustment of up to three inches (76mm). When appropriate, it is possible to install the termination contacts on the cable conductors before the cable is passed through the packer. This may reduce the amount of work an installer is required to carry out in a vertical position over an open well.

Electrical specifications include: voltage ratings of 5000VAC; 140A current; pressure up to 5,000 psig and maximum conductor temperature of 350deg.F (175deg.C). The field attachable packer feedthru system has a maximum diameter of 2.6in (66.04mm), length above the packer with round cable is 26.4 to 29.5 in (672mm to 748mm), and with flat cable 30.4in to 33.4in (772mm to 848mm).
