I would also suggest Schaums "Electric Machines and Electromechanics" and "Electric Power Systems", these are softcover, inexpensive very good. Also Power Systems Analysis by John Grainger, and Electric Machinery Fundamentals Stephen Chapman, those are both excellent and have great solved...

I don't have the Handout you mentioned, and couldn't locate it here in a quick glance. But I'll take a shot. Dark and DMB are right. Section 220 tells you what values you need to use for a given application (general lighting per building type, receptacle, show window, electric dryer etc)...

I just wanted to reiterate this, use the first few letter of your last name. I told a friend to look mine up (you know how awesome it is to see your name) they did my whole name first, last, nothing came up. I was on the phone with them at the time, NOTHING, I freaked.. this after SEEING my...

Congratulations RC!!! Second time was it for me too John

KEG hang in there. I was pretty sure I was going to have another go in Oct (well I was thinking of waiting till April, possible new format, but thats another thread). You know where to go for help those guys in Electrical are GREAT power resources and between them have it all covered, don't be...

OOPS...sorry I didnt see that whole other GIANT thread on NC results Proctor started, Congratulations to YOU!. Hope I can be excused since I was insane with excitement. Thank you all very SO much! AMEN on the Electronics Jim. Very much appreciated Mud! Thank you BOTH for all your help...

After 20 plus years as a designer and project manager, I can now add those initials as well. NC, Electrical Power Depth

I can't begin to tell you how good it feels after 20 plus years doing this work, and finally mustering up the enthusiasm to get it done. I also cannot thank you enough for taking the time to help, I feel sure that was instrumental. People should listen to this man! I also want to extend that...

Like I've done everyday for weeks typed my name into the directory only to see the same two unfamiliar names pop up. Not today! :party-smiley-048: Today there was a third, and this I recognized as my own. Although I've done it again no less than 10 times expecting it to NOT be there...it...

I mentioned this in another post. I can tell you with certainty here in NC (ncbels.org), starting Oct 2009 Civil will have to declare their depths upon registering and starting April 2010 Mechanical and Electrical will have to. What is interesting is there is a separate statement also reading...

First of all I feel like an idiot. As I click the link above, of the 8 bullet points under "Board News" I cannot seem to find that article. Copying and pasting "Notice of Future Changes to NCEES Examinations and Supporting Materials" into the site returns me to the original link page. Any help...

Well second time for me as well. I cant say I felt much better. When asked how it went (hate that), I keep telling people, marginally better. Is that margin enough? No clue. Man I hope so. I think I was near suicidal (not quite) last time. So I feel better this time, but not so sure thats...

This is what I posted. I use it religiously. Have it inserted in the cover of 3 different binders so its always in site. I also penciled in the Vector angles (pos and neg) on copy I have. You'll note these divisions are 30 degree increments. Simple I know but its a quick visual to verify...

They were sneaky on that one.Take another look, thats a Complex Power (kVA), not a Complex Impedance. So its S/V=I JD

I think someplace else is a long thread on this. In short, you're not missing anything and are correct with your finding regarding paralleled conductors. However, that aside, the remaining associated questions walk you through the correct processes as I recall. I didn't look at Kaplan this...
