I would like to join as well.

Generally pencil is not allow since that is what you take the test in and how they tell if you are marking in your books or not. However, it is something that you should check with your state about.

How do you know it's 15" and not 18"? Based on the table 490.24 it would seem that you would need to know the BIL of the device in order to answer the question.

Wael - What was your score, if you don't mind me asking? I took in Texas as well and failed with 53/80. Just trying to see what the cut off point was.

Redskinsdb21 what was your score if you don't mind me asking?

Where in the Electrical Machinery Fundamentals is this topic? I didn't see it when I was going through generators.

It's not a 3-phase load. That is why there is not a square root of 3. It is a single phase load. Thus, why 3300/220 = 15A.

Thanks Wael

So the question states: A 34.5kv, 3-phase, 4-wire, wye-connected distribution planel is experiencing an unbalanced load situation. On phase A (19.9<0) there is a 120+j65 kva load, on phase C (19.9<0) there is a 65+j20 kva load. Calculate the magnitude of the neutral current. Ok, so I...

I got the percentages from when I looked at my status on whether I passed or failed on my state board. It's really not a percentage it's a score but I handled it as a percentage cause that's what grades are. I figured that if I got 47 right and got a 66 then multiplying 47*.66 would give me...

I've taken the test the past two times. I've got 67 and 66%. The first test I got 46 right and the second I got 47 right. Essentially it is based on the number of problems they throw out. If you get 50+ right on the test you should receive a passing score.

to get a passing score you need to get roughly 47-50 out of 80 questions correct.

I was hoping that someone could shed some light on a good review book or something that would help with battery characteristics. I was hoping it would have something to do with sizing batteries based on a partical load for a length of time. Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful. Thanks in...

look at the Power Exam Specifications from the NCEES (http://cdn3.ncees.co/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Exam-specifications_PE-Ele-POW-Apr-2009.pdf) Essentially it is telling you, you need to study the topics that are shown in those areas.

I'm curious if any one has used the IIT Seminars or Videocasts? I'm curious what the differences between them are. What are the pros and cons of each? I've taken the PE Power Exam twice now and have missed passing by 2 or 3 problems each time. I know that I've struggled with the general...

@joshtrevino: Where or how would someone go about getting the lectures? I currently have the book and I'm going thru it for the October exam. Could you post a link or something to the lectures?

Ok, so I'm starting my application process for the October 2011 test. Thus this means I have to list out my experience over the last four years. What is the general format most people use when filling out their SER?! Do you just make a list and basically say what you did on the project or do...

Thanks for the link/suggestions

Hey, I'm currently in the process of finding books for taking the Electrical PE - Power in the state of Texas. I am curious if people can recommend some good books as I have read and seen different reports about PPI books and other books not being accurate to what the exam is like. I am...

Hey, I'm a Electrical Design Engineer from Texas getting ready to take the Electrical PE - Power Section in October 2011 and i'm trying to find good places to help find information for the PE and to help find a good "school" in Texas to go to for help on the exam. If you know of any, please...
