A d.c. 3-wire system is to be converted into a 3-phase, 4-wire system by adding a fourth wire equal in X-section to each outer of the d.c system. If the percentage power loss and voltage at the consumer's terminals are to be the same in the two cases, find the extra power at unity power factor that can be supplied by the a.c. system. Assume loads to be balanced.
