本推荐规程（RP）涵盖了收集所需信息的过程和程序，以完成潜油电泵（ESP）系统的根本原因故障分析。这些包括:-拆卸、检查、最终报告、故障分类和纠正措施的程序。本推荐规程涵盖的项目包括泵、进水口、气体分离器、气体处理装置、密封件/保护器、电机（感应电机和永磁电机）、仪表、传感器、电机引线延长件、坑口和电力电缆。供应商之间的工具和测试设备可能不同； 然而，典型的装配和检查程序和原则通常适用于大多数ESP系统在设备拆卸和检查之前应收集的信息，以及在设备检查/拆卸/拆卸期间应记录的具体观察结果有助于识别设备组件的通用设备图纸。应注意的是，这些图纸适用于通用设备组件，制造商之间可能在组件的准确描述或配置上存在差异。 用户应根据需要参考制造商的具体图纸。本RP不包括仪表表面电子设备、系统接地、替代部署系统、化学注入系统、地面电机注油、远程仪表、发电机、电源、井口、树木和阀门、油管、尾管系统、操作维护和故障排除、泵测试、安装、尺寸和选择、ESP电缆系统的应用、，ESP电缆系统的测试、密封件/保护器的应用和测试、砂处理装置、ESP系统振动或其他API推荐做法涵盖的项目。

This recommended practice (RP) covers the processes and procedures of collecting required information to complete a root cause failure analysis of an electrical submersible pump (ESP) system. These include:- Procedures for disassembly, inspection, final report, failure classification and corrective actions. Items covered by this recommended practice include pumps, intakes, gas separators, gas handling devices, seals/protectors, motors (induction and permanent magnet motors), gauges, sensors, motor lead extensions, potheads, and power cables. Tooling and test equipment may differ between suppliers; however, the typical assembly and inspection procedures and principles are generally applicable for most ESP systems.- Information that should be collected prior to equipment dismantle and inspection as well as specific observations that should be recorded during equipment inspections/teardown/disassembly.- General equipment drawings which may aid in identifying equipment components. It should be noted that these drawings are for generic equipment components, and there may be differences between manufacturers on the exact description or configuration of the assemblies. The user should refer to the manufacturer's specific drawings as needed.This RP does not include gauge surface electronics, system grounding, alternative deployed systems, chemical injection systems, motor oil injection from surface, remote gauges, generators, power supply, wellhead, trees and valves, tubing, tail-pipe systems, operation maintenance and troubleshooting, pump testing, installation, sizing and selection, application of ESP cable systems, testing of ESP cable systems, application and testing of seals/protectors, sand handling devices, ESP system vibrations or items covered by other API recommended practices.
