Patent CA-2709597-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARMETER LARRY J
IPC: H02K3/50
Filed: 2010-07-12
Abstract: A submersible electric pump motor comprises an unvarnished stator structure having stator windings formed of conductors. The stator windings form end coils at each end of the stator for each phase. The end coils are tied to three arc-shaped, metal segments, each having an opening and positioned circumferentially within a circumferential groove.  The metal segments are welded to the interior of the housing to provide a rigid surface.  High temperature strings are wound through the openings in each metal segment and around the end coils for each phase to tie each end coil of that phase to that metal segment. This prevents the end coils of each phase from twisting during startup, sliding into the slots, and moving inwards towards a rotating rotor.

Abstract: A lifeline system includes a lifeline and a drum assembly around which the lifeline is coiled. The drum assembly is rotatable about a first axis in a first direction during extension of the lifeline and in a second direction, opposite of the first direction, during retraction of the lifeline.    The lifeline system further includes a tensioning mechanism in operative connection with the drum assembly to impart a biasing force on the drum assembly to bias the drum assembly to rotate about the first axis in the sec-ond direction. The lifeline system further comprises a braking mechanism in operative connection with the drum assembly. The braking mechanism includes a catch that is rotatable relative to the drum assembly about a sec-ond axis that is not concentric with the first axis. The second axis is opera-tively connected to the first axis so that the second axis rotates about the first axis in the same direction as the drum assembly when the drum as-sembly is rotating about the first axis. A center of mass of the catch is lo-cated in the vicinity of the second axis. The catch rotates about the second axis in the second direction when the drum assembly is rotated in the first direction at at least a determined angular acceleration to cause an abutment section of the catch to abut an abutment member of the lifeline system (for example, by moving radially outward a sufficient amount) and stop the ro-tation of the drum assembly.
