Inductance Calcuations in DC supply Cable.

Inductance Calcuations in DC supply Cable.

Inductance Calcuations in DC supply Cable.

(OP)
Case:
DC supply. Cables are single core cables, 4 pos and 4 neg. They are arranged as a even number of single loop coils. Every even "coil" is oriented to counter the flux from the corresponding odd.
Question:
How do I calculate the inductance for a short circuit scenario.
Thoughts:
Never mind the motor/generator contribution aspects. According to my own thinking the only thing effecting to total inductance would be the coupling factor between the loops. If the coupling factor would be 1 then the total inductance would be zero, correct ? Then it is a question of calculating M rather then L. As my "coils" are non-circular I wonder if it is correct to approximate by calculating the equivalent area that my "coils" enclose and transpose it to an equivalent circular-coil calculation ?

I appreciate your comments
