I am preparing my PE application (CA) and I am listing all PEs that I worked with. I also included my previous boss but did not include his letter of recommendation (LOR) in my application. The only reason I am listing him is to show that I have over 2 years of experience. I do not have full 2...

Can someone please explain when do use any of the GMR formulas listed below? All of the problem that I solved involving GMR in the equitation (typically looking for  capacitive reactance or inductive reactance) do not use any of the formulas for GMR listed below. Typically, they use r'. I...

I was wondering if anyone went trough this exam and found any errors. There are few answers that simply do not make sense. Also, am I the only one who feels that the exam was written with a "gotcha" intent? For the reference I was working with version 1.0.5

I am trying to solve all of the problems in the practice exam using only reference book. However, I cannot solve this one. I know that problem gives us the formula to use for line to ground capacitance and then we use that to convert it to capacitive reactance. I was wondering if we can...

I am getting ready to start second review of per unit type of problems.  So I was wondering, other then fault current what type of problems do you expect to be solving in the exam using per unit method?

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me solve this problem: Tests are performed on a single-phase, 10 kVA, 2200/220 V, 60 Hz transformer with the following results are obtained for a fixed load of 3.41A at rated output voltage. The load is is a lagging pf load. Determine the voltage regulation...

Hi, I was wondering is someone can help with this problem? A three-phase steam turbine generator rated at 722 MVA, 3600 rpm, 19 kV, has a synchronous reactance of 0.65 Ohm. Eo, the excitation voltage is adjusted to be 13.16 kV. The machine is connected to an infinite bus of 19 kV. If the torque...

Now that the exam is computer based I was wondering if anyone knows on any limitations on how many times one ca take the exam?

I am wondering if problem below can be solved using MVA method? Can we assume that Sbase is the actual value of S? A customer is to be served from a 50 MVA, 115/13.8 kV transformer which has an  impedance of 7.5% on a 50 MVA base. The 115 kV bus has a system equivalent  impedance of 1.5 +...

I have been struggling with finding reference material for battery questions so I was wondering if anyone has any advice?
