Abstract:
1. A system for installing a powered device in a downhole tube, comprising: a power line disposed along a production tube, terminating in a first power connector; an orientation profile disposed in the vicinity of the first power connector; and an assembly including: the extending orientation means being configured to be urged radially outward from the assembly responsive to the powered device being longitudinally moved along the production tube to engage the extending orientation means with the orientation profile and to orient the powered device, so that the first power connector and second power connector are aligned circumferentially to connect the powered device to the power line in an automatic manner; wherein when the extending orientation means engages with the orientation profile, the second power connector is activated; and wherein the second power connector is configured to move independently of the longitudinal movement of the powered device, following activation of the second power connector, radially outward, following orientation of the powered device, to a position in alignment with the first power connector.
