To reduce power losses in a SLIC comprising first and second current amplifiers supplying line current to respective wires of a two-wire transmission line to a load, a line current detector detects line currents below a threshold value. For line currents above the threshold value, the second amplifier is supplied from a first battery with a substantially constant voltage. A voltage regulator is connected with its output terminal to the second amplifier, with its current supply terminal to a second battery of higher absolute voltage than said first battery, and with its input terminal to the detector. In response to line currents below said threshold value, the detector outputs control signals proportional to the detected line currents to control the output terminal of the voltage regulator to supply the second amplifier as well as the load from the second battery. |
