Disclosed are methods and devices for testing downhole connector electrical systems and cable integrity during installation of a permanent completion, including a customized retrievable plug arm assembly connectable to the completion during RIH, the tool mimicking a retrievable ESP, but without motor, and can be employed with or without pressure isolation. Another method employs a slidable starpoint located within the downhole wet mate connector of the completion to provide continuous electrical contact between the phases when no retrievable assembly is in place. When a retrievable assembly is later put in place, the slidable starpoint is moved into a second position that no longer provides electrical contact between the phases. Another method uses fusible links installed between two conductors within the downhole electrical connector system of the completion to provide similar electrical contact between phases, the fusible link configured to melt away once motor current is sent through the conductors.

The present invention is directed to fluid compensated downhole connectors and connection systems employing an intensified dielectric fluid compensation. Also disclosed is a permanent downhole fluid compensated electrical connector assembly employing an intensified dielectric fluid compensation. The present disclosure is also directed to a field bypass connector system for a downhole completion tool, such as a packer, and a retrievable wet connect system also employing intensified dielectric fluid compensation.
