Grouping Factors For Cables Laid Direct in The Ground

The document provides grouping factors for cables laid directly in the ground or in single way ducts. It gives the factors for different voltages of single core cables and multicore cables arranged in trefoil or flat formations at varying spacings. The factors range from 0.52 to 0.96 depending on the number of circuits, configuration, spacing and voltage of the cables. Closer spacings and multicore arrangements have higher factors.
