Abstract

A method for mitigating water invasion to a submersible motor includes: forming an accumulation zone within an inner space of the submersible motor, wherein the accumulation zone is disposed at a bottom of the inner space below a motor shaft; measuring a conductivity of a fluid inside the accumulation zone using a sensor, wherein the fluid comprises water and dielectric oil; comparing the conductivity of the fluid with a threshold value; upon detecting that the conductivity of the fluid is greater than the threshold value, activating a solenoid pump to discharge the fluid from the accumulation zone to an outside of the submersible motor.
