imho my solution is correct using V.  I don't care about the $.   As noted the I's in each xfmr prim and sec are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign summing to 0 at the node between each xfmr.  This makes the V's also opposite and equal summing to 0. If you did have a resultant V you would...

VpT1 = 4/7 • V                              VsT1 = 1/4 •4/7 • V = V/7 VpT2 = 3/7 x V                              VsT2 = 1/3 • 3/7 • V = V/7 subtractive VsT1 - VsT2 = V/7- V/7 = 0 Is = 0/Z = 0 therefore Ip = 0 😁

Are results available quicker with the CBT format?

V ph LL = 1/0 - 1/ 360/ph V3 = 1/0 - 1/120 V4 = 1/0 - 1/90

This may help you know V and I https://www.delorenzoglobal.com/documenti/prodotti/140417_Prova_sincrona.pdf

I should read the problem! Load is S not Z

I don't understand why they are automatically refunding rather than asking if you want one or rescheduled for Oct.

This is a good example: THINK before grabbing the pencil and calculator. can't be 0 unless it is the faulted line or inf bus no and no Z. can't be 13800 unless NO Z except a hi NGR. same for 12090, nrg must be >>>> X1 that leaves 6990, which makes sense since L-N is ~7970   imo...

You also thought 0.046 was 4 awg cmil. It's easy if they give you LOAD pf. But you don't need to go that far.

More than 1 way to skin a cat.  In my opinion the test is looking for minimum competency, comprehension/understanding of concepts, not memorization or math skills.  They are not trying to 'trick' anyone.

Who's to say?I've passed PE EE (general, decades ago)  EE power and PE controls both within the last 10 yrs, and am taking the PE ME HVAC. any of the methods will get you there adjusted for pf
