Substitution coefficient $\lambda_0$ for eddy-currents

The two equations for the outer phases of flat formations are identical.

Symbol
$\lambda_0$
Formulae
$3\frac{{m_0}^2}{1+{m_0}^2} \left(\frac{d_e}{2s_c}\right)^2$trefoil arrangement and non-flat formations
$1.5\frac{{m_0}^2}{1+{m_0}^2} \left(\frac{d_e}{2s_c}\right)^2$flat formation, other outer phase (leading 3/T/W)
$6\frac{{m_0}^2}{1+{m_0}^2} \left(\frac{d_e}{2s_c}\right)^2$flat formation, middle phase (1/R/U)
$1.5\frac{{m_0}^2}{1+{m_0}^2} \left(\frac{d_e}{2s_c}\right)^2$flat formation, outer phase with greater loss (lagging 2/S/V)
