Portuguese term or phrase: trifólica
f) Com o fim de compensar as diferenças de impedância dos circuitos com comprimentos longos (superiores a 30 m), recomenda-se que os cabos monocondutores de secção superior a 185 mm2 sejam transpostos em comprimentos não ultrapassando 15 m. Alternativamente, poderá ser usada a formação trifólica;

trefoil monoconductor cables:
https://www.google.com/search?q="trefoil monoconductor cable...

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."
