    Protection/NEC

    I always considered questions that specifically request usage/reference of NEC as a "Codes and Standards" subtopic under "General Power Engineering". Otherwise, if there is no mention, I would consider it to be a "Protection" question under the "Transmission & Distribution" topic. But, I...

    April 2018 Power PE Difficultly Level

    I don't know if how I feel. I feel like the test was more difficult, but I was also more prepared so to me that almost feels like a wash. haha

    April 2018 Power PE Difficultly Level

    I think it was harder than the Oct. 27th 2017 Exam. That said, I'd say there were 3 problems that I had no clue on and probably had 6 in the morning and 6 in the evening that required guessing. I felt the morning was more difficult than the afternoon. Just crossing my fingers and praying...

    April 2018 PE Exam

    @BirdGrave...  I have not tabbed Wildi. I haven't even worked with it to be honest so I'm not sure what all it covers. I had a similar feeling to the PPI reference manual, which I'm uncertain how it compares, but for me I just went through and tabbed the specific topics I referenced most down...

    April 2018 PE Exam

    @BirdGrave Thanks man. I appreciate that!   Trust me when I say last year was the busiest year of my life.   That said, I scored a 49/80. From the report generated from the Oct. 2018 test, I think I was about 4 questions shy of passing.   By the way.... t-minus 1 day and counting.

    Understanding Power Factor Discussion

    Folks: Just wanted to open a thread to discuss power factors.  I'd like to narrow the scope of the discussion to commercial and industrial buildings, although the principals are the same for large scale power distribution. Notes: I know that lightly loaded motors have very low power factors...

    Kaplan Problem sample 21

    @rg1Explaining that the base is the same for both sides of the transformer makes sense. But, if you are transferring voltage across the transformer why do they use the "a (turns ratio)" and not "a^1 (inverse turns ratio)". One explanation I read online is to use intuitive reasoning to...

    The Running Thread

    I currently use Nike Flyknit Free Runs and I don't feel like they have enough support. After just a mile or two and my feet hurt.   I'm thinking about switching back to Nike shoes with Trainer 4.0, 5.0, or 6.0 souls.
