I passed PE Electrical Power. I wanted to thank all the EB members and especially Flyer PE for always making an extra effort with the explaination to any problems and technical insight. Just wanted to let you all guys know that all the support and help provided is not forgotten.

Can someone please explain, the relationship KVAR directly proportional to voltage square? The charge of the capacitor is Q = 1/2(CV^2). How that relates to KVAR?

Can someone please help me with this? Why is the stator current 1.05 angle (90 -18.19) and not 1.05 angle (-18.19)?

Can someone solve the following problem? 'A balanced delta connected resistive load of 8000KW is connected to the low-voltage, delta connected side of a Y-Delta transformer rated 10,000KVA, 138/13.8 KV. Find the load resistance in ohms in each phase as measured from line to neutral on the high...

Can someone please help me to understand this problem; "3 Phase, Y, 6.25KVA, 220V syn. Gen. has reactance of 8.4 ohms/ph. Using rated KVA and voltage as base values, determine per-unit reactance. I am coming up with 1.08 pu and the solution is 0.627 pu. Base Voltage=220/Sq Root 3 =127V Base...

I didn't make it this time. My diagnostic is 54%, 69%, 69% and 67%. I had a feeling that this was going to be close, but I was still optimistic. Looking at the diagnostic score, would this be considered close? I would appreciate any advise/suggestions anyone has to offer to get through the...

This was my second shot and I thought I was way well prepared than last time and then I saw the test. :smileyballs: There were few curve balls but still I feel I got 27 & 29 correct which adds up to 56. Even if I missed about 4 questions out of 56, hopefully I make up for those with...

Has anyone tried solving #530 with MVA method? I can't figure this out with MVA method.

Can someone help me with this partial per unit problem? The actual problem has couple of other generator but I got stuck with this very first step. Problem: Generator 1 rated as 100 MVA, 33 KV, reactance 10%. Determine the reactance of the generator corresponding to base values of 200 MVA, 35...

Can someone please explain why 12.5KV is divided by under-root 3 in NCEES solution? This is how I solved this problem; Vab=12.5 angle 0 + voltage drop across single phase line = 12.5 angle 0 + 70 angle -20 * (5+j10) = 13.08 KV angle 2.35 Since the load is Delta, phase voltage would be equal...
