It is typical to use a per-phase line-to-neutral circuit analysis when dealing with 3-phase circuit analysis. When you have a wye load or source, the wye per-phase values are the line-to-neutral values, so there is no need to convert. But when you have a delta load or source, the delta...

Even though I passed the exam at this point 2 months ago, I still peruse this forum and look back at the notes I took when studying for this exam. My study notes are still quite relevant.

You should be able to take the FE exam once you are done with undergraduate college. Many people (including myself) take the FE exam after getting their bachelors engineering degree. In general, you will need about 4-5 years of work experience to be eligible/qualified to take the PE exam...

Also, which specific questions are you having trouble with? Post them here, so that we can try to help you at this forum.

One recommendation I have is to flag the questions you are having trouble with or making mistakes, and repetitively doing these questions until you get it right and drill the concepts or topics you struggle with better into your head. You might be surprised by how repetitively doing practice...

Don't lose hope! Follow up with NYSED - give them a call or shoot them a quick email.

Attached is how I solved this problem from Cram for Exam Vol.1. I recommend not trying to memorize this formula (since the exam is now CBT and closed-book except for the provided references), but instead learn to derive from basic/fundamental equations.

Off the top of my head (since I don't have the NEC book in front of me right now): Zeff = R cos(theta) + X sin(theta), where theta = cos^-1 (p.f.) The Zeff values given in Table 9 are based on p.f. = 0.85, and for other power factor values you have to first calculate theta before plugging in...

Congrats on passing!

One more question I need to ask about the registration certificate: How is your name displayed on the registration certificate? Mine has (in order from left to right): Last Name, First Name, Middle Name

So just a small update on this: When I emailed NYSED about this (at [email protected]), they did not respond to my email. But they did send an updated registration certificate with the correct full zip code (not -0000).

Congrats on passing!!

I just emailed NYSED about this minor issue in zip code. I'll let you know how that goes.

To add on to what DarkLegion said above and to answer your searching example question: If you are in the NEC tab and you search for voltage, it will give you results only in the NEC. If you are in the NESC tab and you search for voltage, it will give you results only in the NESC. Ctrl+F does...

I actually filled out the correct 4 digits after the hyphen, on my PE exam forms (I double-checked my scanned copy of the PE exam forms). Yet my registration certificate still has 0000... LOL. It probably isn't that big a deal, but I just wanted to ask around about this.

Hey guys, I now have a license number both on the NYSED website (for verifying professions), as well as the certificate documents. I have the certificate that looks like a diploma, and the smaller light green registration certificate. One minor issue I saw on my registration certificate: my...

Take a break for now. It's best not to think at all about the exam after you take it, during the period you're waiting on test results. Work on other stuff, or take a break. Don't think about the exam now.

FYI, there is another topic on this forum also discussing the pass rates of CBT versus pencil and paper: https://engineerboards.com/threads/ncees-released-power-pe-cbt-pass-rates.36475/

Good luck! Which specific questions from the Electrical PE Review exam and the Engineering Pro Guides exam are you having trouble with?
