I appreciate your help.I'm installing an underground 11kv feeder (2KM long) and two control cables for the inter-trip send and receive signals from Multilin relays. What is the minimum segregation required between the two? I have seen some thing from 150mm to 1500mm? Could someone help please? Best Regards,

I'd look at using fiber optic for the transfer trip, then you won't have interference worries.
 
thanks davidbeach, I thought in this solution, but as I do not have good experience with such cable for protection, I prefer to use normal cable. The other thing of course is the cost?
 
In the petrochem industry we tend to specify 300mm min.
