    (Help!) Preparing for October Exam (Power) Any guidance greatly appreciated

    And as I have posted in other threads, get Tom Henry's Key Word Index for the NEC. You need to match up the type of NEC you have, the regular NEC or the Handbook. It will list topics out by page number as well as article number. I have been working with the NEC since I was in my teens. And I...

    Know the Code.

    I would agree that you need to know the NEC. And while I am not suggesting that you slack off in this area, one thing that is incredibly helpful when dealing with the NEC is Tom Henry's Key Word Index for the NEC. It comes in two flavors (normal and handbook) depending on the type of NEC you...

    lighting illumation engineering handbook

    While I had Camara, I never used its lighting section. Not that I tried, but ever sample test I took, the equation needed, was not in the book. I do not remember if I got this link from someone else on the forum (if I do, I apologize for not thanking you) or if I found it myself...

    PE Power Sample Exam

    Agreed. Both the intro to Spin Up and Complex Imaginary is recommended reading. For me, the intro for Complex Imaginary was awesome. It totally shifted how I approached my studying. Before, I was sticking to a time limit on the practice tests I had. As time neared the end, I would guess at...

    NEC Tips

    I would highly recommend Tom Henry's Key Word Index for any problem that deals with the NEC. It comes in to styles, depending on the codebook you have (plain or handbook) and changes year by year. Get this, and then any time you have to grab the NEC, grab the Key Word Index first. It not only...

    PE Power Sample Exam

    Here is how I saw it: The NCEES one I thought represented the test the best, but their answers are not explained well so that you understand what is actually happening in the problem. The Complex Imaginary tests are well worth the money and have very well done explanation of the answers. The...

    Handbook of Electric Power Calculations

    Is it me or does this book seem riddled with errors? I have only gone through two chapers, but I am surprised by what I am finding. This is the 2001, third edition book. Does anybody know of an errata for this book? Or in the opinons here, is it worth trying to find an errata? Thanks. Z
