SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR SELECTIVE SHORTING OF AN ELECTRICAL INSULATOR SECTION

摘要

A bottom hole assembly attached to a drillstring includes a main body including multiple electrical insulator sections along a length thereof, each of the electrical insulator sections configured to have a voltage difference generated there across, wherein a transmitting electrical insulator section having a voltage difference generated there across is configured to remain open, and wherein all remaining electrical insulator sections are configured to be electrically shorted there across.

1. A bottom hole assembly attached to a drillstring, the bottom hole assembly comprising:
a main body comprising: a first electrical insulator section separating a first body portion from a second body portion; a second electrical insulator section separating the second body portion from a third body portion; and a circuit element connected across the second electrical insulator section; wherein the circuit element is configured to be closed and provide an electrical current path across the second electrical insulator section upon a voltage signal at a first frequency being generated across the first electrical insulator section, and wherein the circuit element is configured to be opened and break said electrical current path across the second electrical insulator section upon a voltage signal at a second frequency being generated across the second electrical insulator section.
