Congrats to you!!! I would say the FE is really tougher compared to the PE since the subjects that you have to study are very broad. PE exam focuses only on your area of expertise. I took both the FE (2006) and PE (2010) once and my score for PE is way higher than my FE.. Just advice for...

i know someone scored 45/80 EE Power here in TX and he got a scaled score of 65.. My guess is if you get close to 50/80, then you'll pass.. But that's just a guess.

For a balanced load, defined in phasors, positive sequence: the line current magnitudes are the same, only the phase angle for the HV side leads LV side by 30 deg. the phase current for the delta winding is reduced by sqrt(3) and lags the line current phase angle by 30 deg. So on the primary...

Just wonderin' what kind of crowd i'm talkin to here at EB and please state how many years of working as a PE: 26 years.. just got PE today..

Tomorrow, probably around lunch you'll see your name when you do a PE search on their website. You'll get your PE number as well..

That's the right attitude sir.. Don't give up.. Always try your best.. Shoot for 100 and not take anything for granted.. Next time, you'll ace it, guaranteed..

Congrats sir.. me too.. i can only think of 1 question that i surely missed.. around 5 questions though are educated guesses or answered through elimination.. Anyways, im from the Univ. of Houston and i would say that this school taught me a lot to ace the exam..

The passing grade is a scale score and not by % of correct answers.. In TX, 70 is the scale of a passing grade. Check the new scoring process in the NCEES website. A lot of it depends on your colleagues score on the exam..

I would say that Dark Knight and Flyer PE are the 2 best Power EEs here.. Thanks to both of you..

Thanks a lot!.. Without EB and members, i wouldn't have made it.. I appreciate all the advices here..

Passed Electrical Power

TX results are in and they'll give you the scale score with pass/fail.. You need to click the results link.. Theire website is not up to date..

i passed.. electrical power.. 93 score..

i passed 93.. electrical power

That's correct. NEC is used by EEs as a guide to ensure safety in electrical installation. If you look at article NEC 430.6, to size the motor conductors, short circuit and GF protection, you need to use the tables given in the code book to determine the FLA rather than using the nameplate...
