⚡Paul, a mechanical engineer that works in the photovoltaic solar cell industry, talks about how he PASSED the Electrical Power CBT PE Exam on his first try in January 2021:

⚡ Lauren, an electrical engineer for a natural gas line company, discusses how she PASSED the Electrical Power CBT PE Exam on her first try in December 2020 after the cancelation of the final paper and pencil exam: ⚡ Keely, an electrical engineer for an underground mining and milling...

⚡ Jerome, an electrical design engineer for building construction, shares how he PASSED the CBT Power PE Exam on his first try two weeks ago in December 2020: ⚡ Andrew, a 13.8 kV utility distribution engineer, dives deep for an hour about how he PASSED the Power CBT PE Exam his second try...

Curious about the new computer-based test (CBT) format for the electrical power PE exam? Want to know what engineers that are passing the exam are doing differently? I'm interviewing one student each week to find out how they passed the new CBT Power PE Exam and posting it on YouTube to share...

Thanks for the mention @LyceeFruit PE

Thanks @akyip. That video is an old but good one. Additive vs subtractive polarity tends to be more confusing than it really should. As long as you add up voltage correctly with KVL, and current currently with KCL, you'll always end up with the correct secondary voltage or current.

How do you feel about autotransformers for the PE exam? I took a break from interviewing engineers that have passed the new Power CBT PE Exam to post two new auto-transformer videos for the weekend. I've been receiving a lot of emails lately asking for help with autotransformers such as how...

Thanks for the mention everyone. @jujux15 if you're looking to get started, here is a large amount of excellent free material: Electrical PE Review - Free Trial Included in the Free Trial: Complex Numbers and Polar Math (Video and Text Lessons) Engineering Economics (Video and Text Lessons)...

No problem! I'm not the original poster, just wanted to share what I've seen in the industry.

Since both of the generators in the problem are three-phase, the voltage given for each generator is the three-phase line voltage rating, and not the individual phase voltage rating which will be different for the wye connected generator (smaller by a factor of the square root of three, and...

If you're looking for help with the two wattmeter method which can be really confusing, here are three videos I can suggest: 3 Steps for Solving any Two Wattmeter Method Problem Part 1 (Electrical Power PE Exam) 3 Steps for Solving any Two Wattmeter Method Problem Part 2 (Electrical Power PE...

C Congrats @akyip! Based on the questions you were posting to engineer boards, I had no doubt you would do well. Now go celebrate!

Bingo. Still curious to see how the results trend over the course of an entire year, however.

Both inversely proportional, and directly proportional are a linear, 1 to 1 relationship. If two values are inversely proportional, as one value increases the other decreases by the same amount and vice versa. If two values are directly proportional, as one value increases, the other also...

My pleasure. I'm glad you've found it helpful. Helping engineers pass the PE exam and learn more of the technical aspects of each subject that often get overlooked, ignored, missed, or misunderstood is what I really enjoy doing.

There is a lot of great discussion in this thread. I'll try to address all of it in one post to help reduce clutter. Hi @Byk! Yes, our practice exam was written intentionally with lots of "gotchas". A lot of practice exams available are very similar and only offer a slight variety of problems...

Big congrats @Ampera18!

Congrats @Rburns18!
