Did anyone contact PCS for further instructions on how to obtain license ? Result notification said we should get an email with instructions but I did not get any as of today. Please share if you did. Thanks

I did not refer to Mike Holt's forum for NEC codes. I guess 1200 questions sounds too much. I started my prep late (around first week of September) and did not enough time to explore the online resources. So I have no basis to compare this book to Mike's forum or any other code related...

I moved my post to the below sub-forum, which is much appropriate for this kind of post. />http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=20657

I have seen so many posts here discussing various books which one should have to prepare for PE Power but none of the posts discusses the book which I will mention below. I took this test in October for the first time and passed it quite comfortably. After reading many threads here I went to...

Practo, Unfortunately "NO". I asked PCS about it but they say the board's policy is to not release scores. I am sure NCEES releases full scores to the board. So curiosity aside, have couple of more drinks in the name of "December Special" and relax.

After posting in this thread, this is what I found http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=19234 . Looks like they got letters in the mail but PCS note on results says they will send email this time.

So now we have the results, how long we need to wait before we can get our license numbers? My result notification says I will get an email from PCS within 15 business days. Is there more paperwork involved ? Any input's would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So Orange for MA and VA... 52 days of waiting after the test and 3 days after the NCEES released the results.

Soma - passed PE MA - Power

Congrats ! Excuse my spelling in above post...should have been "Fellow MA PE mates"...got little excited.

Hello Fello MA mates..results are in. Passed PE Power first attempt !

The system is grounded even now. Well, instead of grounding phase A on supply side ( grounding "A" of supply will keep the grounds at same potential), if point "N" is grounded, then it creates a short circuit on phase A of of the supply. Also, the phase to ground currents of other two phases...

I do not think there would be any difference. Since this questions is bought up, I will post various phase to ground voltages I calculated for this system. Vag = 0, Vbg= 13.2 @ 180 deg and Vcg = 13.2 @120 deg. As we can see, this method of grounding creates unequal phase to ground voltages...

Thanks Dean !

You are right, the new load angle would be 28.26. The reactive power supplied will be around 2.8 KVAR.

Dean, NCEES method would have been correct if the load was 3-phase, 4 wire, Y-connected. In delta connection phase and line voltages do not have 30 deg. shift. I agree with you that in y connection there is a phase shift of 30 deg between line and phase voltages. Soma Soma

As Katag did, loop analysis can also be done but since this is a balanced system we can skip an extra piece of calculation of drop in line bB.

This is the alternate way I posted above Vab = VAB + IaA * Z line two times impedance for calculating voltage drop should be only used for single-phase two-wire circuits.

It's a delta connected load, so voltages do not shift nor do they change magnitude. Just use Vab = VAB + IaA * Z line. Though the answer is correct, the method used in the solution is wrong.

Each diode conducts for 60 deg, so the min value of output voltage is VmSin60 => Vm*0.866 = 1.225 and Max is VmSin90 = Vm.
