Abstract:
1. An electric submersible pumping system comprising: a pumping system deployable through a well tubing string and having a pump with a fluid inlet and a pump motor mechanically coupled to the pump; a receptacle assembly adapted to be secured to a lower end of the tubing string; a power conduit for placement alongside the tubing string; wherein the power conduit is electrically connected to a plurality of supply contacts formed within the receptacle assembly; a wet connect assembly coupled to the pumping system, having a plurality of transfer contacts and having motor lead lines electrically connecting the plurality of transfer contacts to the pump motor; wherein the pumping system is deployable through the tubing string so that the wet connect assembly lands in the receptacle assembly with the supply contacts and the transfer contacts electrically connected to each other to supply electrical power through the power conduit to the motor; and an isolation assembly within the receptacle assembly that is selectively movable from a power transfer position to an isolation position to isolate the transfer contacts from the supply contacts for diagnostic testing of the power conduit.
