I passed the electrical power exam. First attempt. Congrats to all. :party-smiley-048: :Banane36: :multiplespotting: :Banane36: :party-smiley-048:

I passed the Florida power exam on my first attempt. Twenty one years after graduation. I like to thank the Engineerboards for all the support indirectly/directly to make this possible. Keep it up and more power to you :party-smiley-048: :Banane36: guys.

Can anyone please explain the solution for 539 in mathematical terms. Thanks

Can someone please explain this to me: 1. A transmissioin line open at the end is equivalent to an increase in the radius of the conductor (rc). 2. I know from the formula for C, that increase in denominator (rc) will increase capacitance c. Then Xc will decrease;from Xc= 1/(2 x 3.14 x f x...

Can someone refer me to a link where I could get some more information about harmonics, or formula for harmonic problems. Thanks in advance

I am going to take my PE exam in Florida. I intend to bring my schaums outline series. Does anyone know if this will be allowed. What if it has notes in pencil not ink. Thanks

Thanks a lot

In the solution why do we have to deduct the angle (-18.19) first by 90 degree. Thanks

Correct if I am wrong. I believe the reason why we have to divide it by 2 is first; it has 2 conductors per line and secondly, parallel resistances divides by 2.

I agree with you. The laws of engineering/ science is universal and America has always been and will always be a country built by immigrants we have to accept this fact and live, survive and succeed under this premise. If you look at history, America became great because of migrants (example -...

H1B visa holders should not be paid lower than engineers in the USA . If so, the company sponsoring this H1B visa holders will be fined by the USCIS. This is to safeguard the wellfares of all engineers as a whole. So if you personally know of any underpaid H1B then this person is being...

Thanks for your advice. I will send my application and see how it goes.

Thanks, I have talked with them and I'll give it a shot.

I have been wondering if my experience as a journeyman electrician acceptable for a PE application. I would appreciate any feedback. I am planning to take the PE here in Florida. :dunno:
