What is Trefoil vs Flat Cable Formation Analysis about?
Single-core power cables can be laid out in either a trefoil or flat formation. Trefoil formation places the cable phases an equal distance apart, reducing magnetic fields and circulating currents, making it commonly used for low and medium voltage applications up to 132kV. However, heat dissipation is worse for touching cables in trefoil formation. Flat formation has issues with increased temperatures in the central phase and potential voltage imbalances unless phase transposition is used, limiting its use
