Should I stay at the company I am at now - $72.5k/year, pay no health premium, 25% match 401k, 0-4k annual bonuses depending on how the company is doing. But I am very slow now and I don't really like my boss. Plus the company is a civil company that happens to have electrical guys and is really...

I am selling the Kaplan PE Power Electrical Engineering License Review Study Guide Kaplan is selling it here for $109.95: http://www.kaplanaecengineering.com/kaplan...uct_detail.aspx I am offering it for $94.95.

I posted this as part of another thread, but wanted to post it separately to get more opinions. So, I recently passed the PE exam and went from bliss to huge disappointment. I was counting on a significant raise because I've felt that I've been underpaid for the whole time I have been with this...

So, I am sitting around waiting for my results here in California. But I have heard of this from a couple of other engineers. That basically whether they have released the exam results or not, California and all other states must update their rosters for 2011 engineers before the end of the...

On my NEECS authorization form, there is a field up top that says Eximanee Instructions, under which it says: AM Serial # ______________ PM Serial # ______________ Do I have to enter anything right now for either of those?

Last minute question on what we can or cannot bring into the exam. Can I bring the NCEES Electrical Power Sample Exam? Can I bring notes that are in a 3-ring binder? Thanks.

I know this sample exam is full of errors, so this could just be another error, but on Problem #7, they say it is an unbalanced load and give currents for Ib and Ic only. Then to find Ia (in order to find the power in Phase A) Kaplan just does KCL around the N (neutral) point. Ia + Ib + Ic = 0...

It's a pretty bad sign that I am having trouble with a problem this close to the exam, but... I have no idea how they get system thevanen impedance of 0.025 pu, which they use to find the fault current. I got a completely different answer. SCD = 40 MVA Voltage = 12.47kV Zth = 12.47kV^2 /...

A three-phase, delta-wye connected, 30-MVA, 33/11-kV transformer is protected by a differential relay. The CT current ratio on the primary side is 500:5 and that on the secondary side is 2000:5. The relay current setting for faults drawing up to 200% of the rated current is nearly: a. 3.31 amps...

According to Article 240.4(F) the secondary conductors of a delta-wye transformer require a breaker for over current protection even if there is a breaker on the primary side. What is the technical explanation though? In the NEC handbook it delves deeper into this and says that a single phase...

Two part question. First, the secondary of a delta-wye transformer, does it need over current protection even if the primary has over current protection? I am almost positive that it does (despite my idiot boss' claims!!! AHH!) Second question. Why? I know there is a phase shift between the...

So, I am trying to really master symmetrical components and a lot of the problems on symmetrical components that I have seen basically have you find the line currents given unbalanced voltages at the source. But can you use symmetrical components to find line currents in the following situation...
