Abstract
A system includes production tubing installed in the well and a female component connected to the production tubing comprising a female component body located in a housing, primary coils wound through the female component body, and a borehole delineated by an inner circumferential surface of the female component body and having a borehole axis. The borehole outlines a shape. The system also includes a male component electrically connected to the electrically powered tool and configured to be inserted into the borehole of the female component. The male component includes a male component body having an external surface formed in the shape, secondary coils wound through the male component body, and a conduit extending through the male component body and having a conduit axis. The borehole axis and the conduit axis line up when the male component is inserted into the borehole of the female component. The system further includes a split downhole transformer formed by installation of the male component into the female component. Formation of the split downhole transformer allows power to transfer from a surface location to the electrically powered tool installed in the production tubing…
