Abstract
A system for monitoring an Electrical Submersible Pump is disclosed comprising a rotation rate sensor located in an ESP gauge (6). When the Electrical Submersible Pump is started the rotating elements rotate in a first direction while the static elements will experience an opposing torque in a second opposite direction. The small rotational movement of the ESP gauge housing is sensed by the sensor and is used to determine the initial direction of rotation of the motor (5) and pump (6).
