Effective thermoelectric coefficients are found for a two-dimensional three-phase macroscopically disordered medium. To obtain such a value, the method of sequential averaging is used, which allows the method of isomorphism to be used for the two-phased variant. Also here is given a comparison with the mean-field approximation iddle field. It has been shown that the conditions that determine exact values of the effective kinetic coefficients of D – media are insufficient for three-phase media.
