Cables for cable deployed electric submersible pumps

A cable for a cable-deployed ESP system, the cable comprising:

• coiled tubing;
• three conductors, each conductor encased in a tube, wherein the three tubes are helically twisted and disposed in the coiled tubing;
• insulation surrounding each of the three conductors;
• a jacket surrounding the insulation and the three conductors;
• an intermittent armor layer helically wrapped around the jacket, the intermittent armor layer having gaps between sections along a length of the cable such that the intermittent armor layer is compressible longitudinally and applies force radially outward on an inner surface of the coiled tubing, the intermittent armor layer comprising a thermoplastic material;
• and
• a heat-shielding tape disposed between the jacket and the coiled tubing, the heat-shielding tape comprising at least one of a ceramic, glass fabric, or composite material.
