    It is known that higher the voltage level, lower are the transmission losses. But in case of d.c. distribution, level cannot be increased readily like a.c. Using rotating machinery, the d.c. voltage level can be increased but the method is too expensive. The d.c. three wire system can be used to double the transmission voltage, without increasing the voltage between either conductor and earth. The higher voltage demand also can be satisfied using d.c. three wire distribution system.
