Plug-in pothead and method for electrical submersible motors

Abstract

Some implementations include a system comprising a connector configured to electrically couple a motor lead extension (MLE) to an electric motor of an electrical submersible pump (ESP) to be positioned in a wellbore, wherein the connector includes a first set of cavities each including a first conductor. The system further includes a motor head of the electric motor including a second set of cavities configured to receive the first conductors, where each cavity of the second set of cavities includes a second conductor, an electrical coupling device configured to electrically couple each of the first conductors to a respective second conductor, a set of threads, and a locking device configured to form a threaded connection with the set of threads, wherein the locking device is configured to prevent an axial movement of the electrical coupling device and the second conductor within each cavity of the second set of cavities.
