with a submersible pump, you would have 3 phase power (a total of 4 lines overhead, three hot and one ground) a set of three transformers, a control pannel and a 1 1/2" to 2" armored steel cable (extension cord) running from the control pannel to the wellhead.
the cable is banded to the outside of the tubing. usually, the limiting factor for a submersible pump is the size cable that can be run in the well. in other words the amount of electrical energy , horsepower, that can be delivered to the motor.
