Why does my license expire so soon? I just got it in January? Help me remember the rules.

I received my California "pocket" certificate today, but no wall certificate.

Nothing yet. I was wondering the same thing. I hope my regular mailman works that day and I don't have a substitute. The substitute's sometimes put the mail through the door slot instead of the mailbox I put up recently. My dog hates the mailman and attacks the mail that comes through the...

I would recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Systems-Analys...MHZDB745A0K398H I don't think I would have passed the PE without it.

Congratulation!

I passed. Thanks to this board for the encouragement and good vibes - oh - and having somewhere to go when I was stuck on a problem - priceless! Thanks to all!

Oops - I should have posted in the official folder. My bad. Yahoooooooooo!

Today I found out that I passed the Power PE exam in California. Yahooooooooooo!

I learned so much while reviewing for this exam (Power). Walking out of that exam, I felt more knowledgeable than i have in a long time regarding my work and my skills. But it will sure be nice to pass. Waiting in CA....

I am in California. Is there anyone in California who knows whether or not you passed the take home exam?

I completed the take home exam and returned it with my PE exam application. My exam application was accepted and I took the exam this past October. How do you know if you passed the take home exam? Do they send a pass/fail notice? I never received anything regarding the take home exam. Thanks

Shift then Setup (next to the power button) then "2" (Line IO). To switch it back to the fancy display, do the same except hit "1" (MthIO)

Thanks, I was making it more difficult that it is. The base impedance and the base VA define the other bases for each part of the circuit. The voltages can certainly be different for each portion.

I am panicking a little bit since I thought I had this down and now I'm confused on some basic concepts. On the link shown in the example attached, a generator feeds a motor and then there is a fault at the motor terminals. The solution shows the impedance of the motor, 0.2 pu, being converted...

I take it that the information they give on the generator regarding the .85 lagging power factor is not important. And this is because this is the power factor of the system without a short circuit, correct? They give the transient reactance of the generator and the impedance of the...
