I had the book and it definitely was helpful for me. The author gives his email address, and we emailed back and forth quite a few times. He cleared up some things I had questions about (errors, concepts, etc.) He said that there is a second edition coming out soon. I'm hoping he'll get it...

I bought the PPI Passing Zone and Exam Cafe, and someone was kind enough to sell me their GA tech binder. The GA tech binder helped me out A LOT during the exam.....and for the PPI...I want my money back.

Eating enchiladas

What I found interesting was the whole “rank your question” strategy. It took me 15 minutes to read through the whole exam, ranking the problems in difficulty from 1 to 4, plus the NEC’s. Well, with the 1’s, I was spot on…But what was interesting was some of the 2’s and 3’s were actually...

Ah okay!! Now I see. Thanks a million!

Move to Houston....they are hiring like crazy.

Okay, so I'm trying out the MVA method for CI Volume 1, #13....For some reason I keep on getting 1543 A. I downloaded the "Short Circuit ABC" pdf from earlier posts on the forum, so I'm trying to follow along. There's two "components" we are dealing with.....the transformer and the...

i got that as well.

I'm looking at the solutions, and it says that absolute value (Ia + Ib) = (-In) I get that. However, why did they put the impedances in the numerator and the voltages in the denominator??? Isn't I = V / Z ?????? Thanks.

Awesome points. Thanks CRN. Also, I'm setting like 4 alarm clocks to make sure I'm up on time. I always use my cell phone as an alarm, but there have been a few times where it has powered off on me in the middle of the night.

SolomonB, you are so right.....last night, when I was going through some of the NCEES questions, I was getting frustrated with a few of them....until I after the third time I re-read one of the questions, and said, "Wait a minute....all they are really asking for is the phase voltage....easy!"...

If everything is bound that's ok. But I think NCEES prefers your markings in your books to be in pen........

Thanks everyone for the verification!

Iahim, I lost the website I went to, but after doing more research I see that what you guys say is indeed the most common fault (line to ground).
