Transposition of Conductors

The transposition is a physical

rotation of the conductors so that the
conductor is moved to take up the next
physical position in the regular sequence.
The transposition of the conductor
equalises the
mutual inductanceand capacitance betwe
en the lines. The irregular spacing
between the conductor gives a complex
value of inductances which makes the
study of the power system complex. The
transposition is mainly done in the
switching station and the substations.
The transposition cycle is shown in the
figure below.
