I had a similar set of books, which I culled from recommendations on this board. - Camara Handbook (the PPI Power book and sample exam. This is a great one stop shop for many power topics) - Electrical Machines, Drives, & Power Systems - Wildi (great book, I love the simple way he breaks...

Interesting. I took the power exam as well and felt the morning was much better for me. I felt I crushed it with only 1-2 questions I was unsure about. The afternoon session I was more shakey with probably 5-8 questions I was unsure about. Overall I felt the test was tough, but fair. I was well...

Awesome Flyer, that's exactly what I was looking for! I had the same mental block as the original poster in the linked thread.

I've been scratching my head about this one for months. I still can't seem to find a resource that explains how to solve this problem. Does anyone have any textbooks or other resources that explain how to solve this problem? Even the ncees solution doesn't make sense to me. I don't see how Leg...

I like to check problems like this with the simple "Power in = Power out" adage. We are single phase, so P = VI On the secondary side we have Psec = (277v)(10A) = 2770 VA On the primary side we have Ppri = (480v)(5.77A) = 2770 VA...

Flyer, that's exactly how I solved the problem. The issue was a disagreement with a co-worker over the solution. His position is there must be some current on the third primary line that I say is zero. His reasoning is because of the 'mutual inductance' of the transformer magnetics. My position...

Here's the problem: A 480v to 480/277v three phase transformer is connected delta-wye. A single phase load drawing 10A is connected to one line of the secondary. There are no other loads on the transformer. What are the primary winding currents? What are the primary line currents?

Do you work at Subway? Because you're giving me a footlong

Take a look in the provided test material from the ncees.org website, http://www.ncees.org/exams/fe_exam.php http://www.ncees.org/Documents/Public/FE%2...0Apr%202010.pdf They give you a breakdown of each section, how many questions are on each topic by percentage. You'll notice there's...

I just took and passed the April 2010 NYS FE. I am also an electrical engineer. I took the general afternoon exam after quickly looking at the electrical section problems. It depends on what your strengths are. The electrical afternoon section appeared to go in to greater depth, which is great...

I passed the April 2010 FE with just the Lindberg study guide: http://ppi2pass.com/ppi/PPIShop?ct=FEEXAM&...=0&pr=FERM2 I found the exam problems to be similar to the review material in the book, and overall it was an excellent test prep tool. Good luck!
