Voltages are induced in the sheath of cables running in parallel which result in circulating currents flowing in the sheaths. The distances between single core cables running in parallel determine the voltages induced. With single core cables in trefoil formation (touching each other) the distances between the cables are minimum and thus the voltages induced are minimised and hence the circulating currents.The circulating currents cause localised heating.

What is the difference between single core and multi core wires?
Single core has one single piece of metal wire, maybe copper or aluminium, with insulation around it. It is not very good if you want the cable to flex and bend as it is more likely to just bend and stay there in the new position. Multiple-strand cable has lots of thin wires and this makes it more flexible and likely to spring back
Why armouing is not done in single core cable?
On the contrary, armouring is common on single-core conductors. Frequently, high-voltage underground cables are made up of three, individual, single-core, line conductors. These are most definitely armoured to protect them against penetration by the trench backfill and to protect workers who may accidentally hit them with tools.
Does a 4corex630 sq mm cable carry the same current as a single core 630 sq mm cable?
4-core 630 mm-sq cable sounds like 4 cores each of 630 mm-sq as used on 400 kV power lines, in which case it carries 4 times the current.
What are the advantages Pvc Single Core Cables?
A single-core cable generally has a higher current rating because it can be separated from neighbouring cables to allow any heat generated to escape. However if power cables continuously run warm it is a sign that they are being run uneconomically and the use of a thicker wire gauge is indicated, because the extra capital costs of a thicker cable would be more than offset by the saving on the cost of the energy wasted in heating the cable.
What is the type and size of cable gland or 2 core cable?
To answer this question the size of the cable or the amperage of the load is needed to calculate the correct wire size and connectors to fit the cable.
When you clamp a single core cable carrying about 500A with an aluminum cable clamp do you have to take care of any effects due to Eddy currents and If so what can you do to minimise these effects.?
Assuming the single core cable forms part of a three phase circuit (i.e. you are clamping three single core cables) it is best to install the three cables close togther in what is called "trefoil" formation. This harmonises the Eddy currents of each phase.
What is single core cable used for?

What is a single core cable?
A single core cable means it has one wire going through the outer casing.Like a 3 pin plug has 2 or 3 which are (blue)-Neutral,(Brown)-Live and maybe (Green/Yellow)-Earth which would be 2 or 3 core.
What is the difference between single core and multi core wires?
Single core has one single piece of metal wire, maybe copper or aluminium, with insulation around it. It is not very good if you want the cable to flex and bend as it is more likely to just bend and stay there in the new position. Multiple-strand cable has lots of thin wires and this makes it more flexible and likely to spring back
What is the cable types that has a single inner-core wire?
Coaxial cable is a type of cable that has a single inner-core wire. This wire is surrounded by a layer of insulation, a woven metal shield, and an outer jacket. Coaxial cables are commonly used for television, internet, and other data transmission applications.
How many dewa cable from transformer to mdb?
11 CABLES 630 mm2 single core
Which types of fiber optic cable would have a core size of 8nm and a cladding size of 125nm?
Single-mode Fiber
Do you class a twin and earth cable as a two core or a three core cable?
2
What is the difference between core flex and tech cable?
Core Flex = one conductor per cable Tech cable = 3 conductors per cable
What is difference between core cable and pair cable?
The term core represents each individual conductor within a cable, and a pair is two cores (or two conductors) within a cable. For example if you have a 3 core cable, then the cable has 3 separate conductors in it (3 separate cables within the PVC coating). A 3 pair cable would be 3 sets of 2 cores, so this would have 6 conductors within the cable.
Why single-core cable armoured with steel wire or tape must not be used for a c circuit?
Current in the single core cable would induce a magnetic current in the steel cable, though a transformer effect. This would heat the steel armored strands, and the circuit would increase more electrical power from the load supply point. The earthing of the cable glands would complete the circuit and the return current would flow in the earth bonding cable between the two points. This is called Eddy currents generated in the cable by the twist of the steel armored around the central core, current flowing in one direction
