Default Trane Variable Speed Furnace OT: DC power

geothermaljones posted for all of us...

Now that is something I did not know...

I do know the AC distribution can eat up 20-30%+ of it's power in order to
boost it's voltage & keep up the flow,
but I've never heard of long distance DC distribution.
Any recommendations on a good read to explain it? I'd like to see how it's
done...

DC is sometimes used to transmit large amount of power long distances.

Large data centers are actively investigating DC power supplies directly to the
systems to save on cooling costs and conversion losses by built in power
supplies.
