Abstract

A method and a system for rearranging sound conductors included in parallel lines in power transmission are provided. The parallel lines include at least a first line (L 1 ) and a second line (L 2 ) each of which includes N conductors ( 1 A, 1 B, and 1 C; or, 2 A, 2 B, and 2 C), N is an integer number greater than or equal to 3. The method includes: selecting any N sound conductors ( 1 B, 1 C, 2 C) which are not included in one line, among the 2N conductors ( 1 A, 1 B, and 1 C; 2 A, 2 B, and 2 C) included in the two lines (L 1 , L 2 ); connecting each of one or more unselected conductors ( 1 A) included in the first line (L 1 ) to a corresponding one of one or more selected sound conductors ( 2 C) included in the second line (L 2 ) while keeping the second line (L 2 ) tripped, so that a reconstructed line is formed by using the N selected sound conductors ( 1 B, 1 C, 2 C) to resume power transmission of the first line (L 1 ).
