What is the value of maximum voltage and volume of conductor material in 1-phase 3-wire system?

The volume of conductor material required in this system is (5/8)cos²θ times that of 2-wire d.c.system with the one conductor earthed. The maximum voltage between conductors is 2v_m so that r.m.s. value of voltage between them is √2v_m.
