    NC Results are in

    Like I've done everyday for weeks typed my name into the directory only to see the same two unfamiliar names pop up. Not today! :party-smiley-048: Today there was a third, and this I recognized as my own. Although I've done it again no less than 10 times expecting it to NOT be there...it...

    Base Z

    Am I missing something here or is this a typo in 2.11? They show the Zbase as 13.4=1pu. This is a 3 phase wye so I line = I phase= 16.6 amps, Z is given per phase 8.4 ohms Every formula I use (and I prefer Graingers kV L-L ^2 x 1000/ base kVA3 phase) I get 7.74 .22^2 x 1000/6.25=7.74 EERM...

    Diagnostic report Summary

    I know with only 46 days left this may or may not be of any value. But looking through my files I forgot I had done this and thought Id share. Maybe there's some value in it. Just my understanding of the scoring. All these came from another thread, since all I did was Power (sorry ECC guys)...

    NCEES 128

    Can someone explain how to get the net difference for the Poles (4) and Zeros (2) in the Transfer Function. I'm missing the 2nd zero and 4th pole. (I guess with 1 and 3 I'd get 2 and the same -40dB/decade...but 100s (s+1) (s+2)(s+3)(s+4)^2 thanks Benbo for the other solution. John

    Transfer Function

    Hey guys, I realize this isn't likely to be a simple answer (well I mean "algebraically" is the answer but wont help), but can someone give me an idea how to get from initial equation for Z(s) to the final form for T(s) in the attached example from the EERM. Hope I'm not violating any...

    April it is

    Hey all Been lurking in the wings licking wounds and hadn't been all that eager to post, also didn't want to raining on anyones parade. With that, let me first offer my sincerest congratulations to all my October EBmates on passing WTG! Not fairing as well, I have a much greater appreciation...

    Turns Ratio

    Dammit I should have this down by now. But I was thrown by 138 turns ratio where they 28kv/sqrt3 to 115Kv whereas in 518 they dont. Looking at Grainger and another machines book I dont get why 138 was done that way, unless its the three single phase xfmrs, but its represent as 3 phase. John

    I dont understand why "since Beta is 100" Ie is approx equal 2mA (which is equal Ic) John

    Camara Sample Exam #15

    Simple series circuit with a voltage source v(t)=(169.7) sin 377t in series with an open switch t=0ms and a 50 micro Farad Cap. An electric switch closes in 0ms and opens in 6Pi ms in the circuit shown. What is the total charge on the Cap The lines for the solutions q=Cv =(50x10^-6) x...

    Camara Sample Exam

    Question 158 States What is the Characteristic impedance of a high freq trans line with Zl =.85 ohms/mile and Yl =7.00 z10^-6 S/m. The answer 348 Ohms Solution Zo= Sqrt of Zl/Yl so They show Sqrt of .85 ohms/m divided by (7.000 X10^-6S/m)(1 x1/ohm/S) I took the reciprocal os Siemens to get...

    Kaplan 134

    Can someone explain why their formula page 73, for VR=Vfl-Vnl/Vnl, is opposite the EERM 40.11 which is Vnl-Vfl/Vfl? john

    NCEES 518

    Man I give up this should be a no brainer. Why isn't this current of 75.93 Amps (multiplied by the Turns Ratio of 10) on the WYE side then multiplied by Sqrt 3 on the Delta side? Is it normal to feel like you'll just never make it 26 days out? John

    NCEES 532

    I guess this seems simple enough the way NCEES presents it as simple OHMs law. My confusion, Line versus System Impedance, hopefully a simple explanation of terminology. I haven't looked much at Transmission lines yet its next on my list. I understood the Line impedances of 16.75/_ 81 Ohms and...

    Another Kaplan

    The one thing I thought I knew and was comfortable with was the NEC. I might still contend that, but wonder what you all think. If you have the Kaplan Sample exam see problems 1.22-1.26, or more specifically the solutions. If you don’t have it, in brief, a building service has computed load...

    Kaplan Sample Exam Power

    Okay this is probably more a gripe than anything else. I just got the Kaplan Sample exam yesterday, I like the way it appears to work problems. But the first power problem seems wrought with errors, minor yes but still. Comparing the Solutions to the problem they all the sudden decided to...

    NCEES 122

    For those not having it handy: An Si diode used as a 1/2 wave rectifier and is drawn in series with a 220VAC source. The 220 VAC Source in parallel with a 50 microfarad Cap The cap is drawn after the Diode. The minimum PIV (V) rating necessary to avoid reverse breakdown is most nearly...

    NCEES probs 134 and 135

    Hi all, Okay looking at problems 134 and 135. I was able to solve these easy enough. My question...is there a reason why they solved it two different approaches in the Solutions? Understanding leading, lagging, power triangle. neg vs pos, I used the general few formulas... P=(V)(I)(pf)...

    Cramers Rule

    Has anyone actually had to use this on the exam? The calculator is fine for simultaneous equations with 2 or 3 unknowns. But what about for phasor? For example if you have the following 2 equations 11.59/_15(I1) + 6/_210(I2)=208/_240 6/_210(I1)+10.91/_36.8(I2)=208/_0 I1=23.3/_261 and...

    Transients-Intergrals

    Just a general question is an much as it can be. Ive posted (this board and the other) and read posts about "math" in general. Consensus always seemed to be not to get too caught up in it. Starting Transients, and well as I am sure you are aware it appears very involved and complex. My...
