So I just got my PE and I was wondering, what is the job prospect for an electrical engineer with a PE license? I was graduated about four years ago, and as most of you know, job market was fantastic back then. I remember my last semester, I was getting interview after interview. I landed a...

Has anyone heard from NCEES yet? Any chance we get the results before new year? :dunno: :unsure:

I bumped into this one a long time ago but I totally forgot about it. Per NEC, to size a motor overload we should use the motor nameplate current rating and not the NEC table; so why is answer using the table?

I only did NCEES and PPI sample exams; but seeing the threads about Kaplan, I decided to get the Kaplan exam book and give it a shot. I just started last night and went through the first 20; I found at least 5 very "shaky" questions; I think three of them were flat wrong. Does any one else...

Using Casio fx-115ES, does anyone know how to display the complex number results in normal format (like 2.344+5.66i) and not in fraction format (like 3/61+5/122i)? It is really annoying me and I can't figure out how to change the mode. Thanks

I bumped into another problem; an AC motor which is normally Delta connected draws 367A starting current; what would be the starting current if it is started in Wye configuration? I thought the answer should be 367x3=1101, because Wye impedance is one third of delta impedance. But the answer in...

Here are a couple of problems I found in PPI practice problems book: 1. a three phase, synchronous AC motor, 440V (L-L), Xs=j20. No load field current is adjusted for minimum I(a) when I(f) is 5ADC. at this time input power is 900W. what is the rotor current required for this motor so it can...

I was wondering if anyone has received these yet? I have paid State and NCEES dues and received confirmation and NCEES ID#. They also said they'll be sending seating assignment before the test. Have you guys received your seating assignment yet?

I am quite familiar with NEC; I know more or less the difference between NEC and NESC, that NEC is more concerned with electrical safety after "service drop" and NESC deals with utilities and so on. But that's pretty much all I know about NESC because I have never worked for a utility company...

Can anyone explain what it means in problem 530, when it says "the transformer and the 12.47kV system have them X/R ration"? I understand how the answer is calculated: basically, first you find the Zpu of 12.47 bus, added it to the transformer Zpu; then find Ssc by dividing Sbase by Zpu and...
