It's unlikely their transformers would have sufficient stray flux to

produce
interference.

If you're worried, position two of them at right angles, and the third
not-in-line with either.

Mr. Cook's question was stated just fine, we have some grouches here
this Monday morning.

There is a slight chance that the oscillators would try to sync up, it
depends on how close they are in free-running frequency and also on
how much intercoupling there is between the electronics, as well as
any possible flux coupling between the transformers. Really hard to
predict!

So keep as separate as possible and perhaps 120/120/120 degree relative
orientations and inversion if 2 are constrained to be close, makes sense to
reduce that likelihood
