Good to know, thanks guys!

So I just saw I got my PE license number on DCA.CA.GOV, no wall certificate yet. Is there a reason as to why it says it expires in December?? Birthday is in May. 

Thanks, I have not filled that out. I didn't really know any of the steps that I needed to do. Is that other form just for civil? I am electrical.  NVM I found it http://www.bpelsg.ca.gov/pubs/forms/peapp.pdf

Does the next step button work for anyone? Link is 404 for me.

I got the same thing as you but cos^-1(-0.4659) = 117 degrees. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.17+%3D+(1%2Fpi)+*+integral+from+X+to+pi+of+sin(theta) Answer is 2.055 radians which is 117 degrees

I can' wait either lol, hopefully I pass first try.  Its been quiet on the forums today everybody must be studying hard or not at all. 

For fire pumps you round up the to the next largest size OCPD based on the LRC sum of the fire pump, jockey pump and accessories.

I've so far assumed that loads do not contribute fault current, I haven't seen a problem that has had the load contribute fault current besides a motor.  Do you mind posting the question and answer?

Some problems will state that the load contributes no fault current, it is also a load how can it contributed fault current? If the load is a motor then it is a different story and that will have a fault value contribution. 

I already owned both the guide and the test before I got the code, decided today to get the code drill book he has. Not having an index is really a downside to it but alongside with Graffeo's book they seem to cover pretty much anything I have encountered. Maybe I will get bored and tab his...
