One of the sources mention "trefoil monoconductor cables in flat formation".
"Trefoil Formation refers to a method of arranging cables. The trefoil arrangement is primarily used in situations where the three phases are carried by individual cables rather than a single three phase cable.
In a three phase cable, since the individual conductors along with their insulation are placed near each other the net inductance is minimum as the magnetic field of the individual currents cancel each other out."

Note: Trifólico trifásico. This does not refer to the number of phases, but to the number of cable layers. It could be 20 or 30 cables in the tray.
