How close were you to passing? I did not pass the April but passed the Oct exam. You can do it, just need to dig in the practice exams and NEC book.

Exam taken: Electrical Power Educational background: BSEE 1990 How long did you study? 500+ hours Did you take a prep course? If so, which one? No prep course State: OK List of materials you brought into the exam: NEC, NESC, 2 Electrical Books, Notes I put together List of materials you...

You got to think in terms of the formula Vout=Voltage generated minus Current * Impedance. The current that flows out the generator is moving through the line and the impedance of the line is going to cause a voltage drop. The voltage and current originated in the generator so the PF is...

The line voltage is the generated voltage if you add back the voltage drop from the line. The generated voltage is the largest voltage point if there are no other sources.

I graduated with a BSEE in 1990 so I had to some catching up to do. I used all the test practice exams (Comples, Spinup, Kaplan, NCEES) and NEC code book. I think Kaplan was the best test book for preparation of the Oct exam.

Passed in Oklahoma, on the second try........YES

How many other options are in Civil for a PE than what is listed below? I'm a EE Construction Transportation Water Resources

Why do you ask about the color of the pencil?

I took the test in April too and felt like this test was much more difficult, although I was more prepared on this one. Got the feeling someone else created this test compared to the test 6 months ago. It had a different looks and feel. The afternoon was more difficult by 3-4 questions plus the...

#42 is 27.9 <-36.9 #70 is 50 amps

Thanks

Just seemed strange on this problem since the Primary was the low side of the transformer. Is the Primary always connected to the source and the load is on the secondary?

Is there a rule of thumb for the primary and secondary? For example is the transformer is 12.5/34.5 KV, is the primary the highest KV or just the one on the left? 12.5/34.5 KV Primary/Secondary ??

The transformer usually carries the j For generator: Contribution = 11/0.06 For transformer: Contribution = 6/0.39 Total contribution: 14MVA get 16.2 KA. using the 5K, close

MVA method would be preferred but if they give the parameters in pu, you would have to convert to actual values by finding the base. Not difficult but more work and possibility of making mistakes. I would be prepared for both methods. Be thankful don't have to use the ohmic method,...or would we?

Since the impedance is per phase take 480/sqr3 minus the phase drop then convert back to line.

Yes uncoated copper, Got that from a CI problem. Don't remember which one. What about the impedance if asked for the current draw from a single phase load? Is the impedance 2x even though it goes to the load and not back?

Drop is at the load, one way, does not return

Bare copper in PVC conduit so they won't SC, If you use insulated wire then you would have to use the effective Z

120 - 40<-31.8 * ((.052 + j .041)/1000) * 500' = 118.7 volts
