I passed!!! My Gatech binder was my bible for the last three months.

I too took the test last April, and like you I finished all the calculation problems in about an hour. I spent the next 3 hours flipping through my text books for answers I couldn't find. I still don't know what to study this time around, the only changes I'm making is bringing 3inch binder with...

I'm curious about this problem as well. Every time I do this problem I choose "C", the output of a full-wave rectifier.

The real exam is alot like the NCEES practice exam? Just as confusing too. Think about how you felt the first time you took the practice test. You must have sat there just trying to figure out what they were asking, one wrong assumption and you got the question wrong. All the possible wrong...

Also as a tip to anyone taking the PE for the first time, the PE exam is composed of about 50% calculations and 50% word questions. I was able to answer all the calculation problems in about an hour in both AM and PM. Spent the next 3 hours flipping through my notes for answers I couldn't find...

I still don't know how a 50/51 relay works. Is there really a different pick up current setting for the 50 relay? Anyone here with experience of the 50/51 relay? I've taken the PE exam once before, and the 50/51 relay does come up. And like always the NCEES questions are never clear about what...

The question states "Assume terminal voltage (Et) = 1.0 pu" So you solve for the internal generated voltage Ei = Et + IX

I'm also assuming that there's different settings for the 50 relay. Can any one else confirm this? Thanks

With a multiple pickup current of 3.6 shouldn't the instantaneous unit trip @ 0.02s? What I am confused about is when does the instantaneous unti (50) trip? Any help or information regarding a 50/51 relay is apprecianted. Thank You Vang83
