A special type of cable is used to conduct electricity from the switchboard to the motor. Cables come in many sizes and types depending on the size of the motor and well conditions. Typically, the cable consists of three conductor cores covered with a number of layers to maintain its dielectric strength, resistance to fluid migration, mechanical protection and ground continuity
