@Eng-Moe (if you @ people they are more likely to see it).

The original post in this thread (instead of making a new thread and cluttering the board) has updated for 2020 and 2021 to include our new recommended references based on our experience helping engineers pass. I hope this helps you purchase the right books to help you with the electrical power...

Nice user name! Subscribe to our Electrical and Computer FE Exam YouTube Channel. There are only a few videos but we will be adding to it every week. If there is anything particular you are looking for help with let me know and I'll see if we can can add some videos on the subject.

Looking for specific help on Linear Systems for the FE exam? Direct message me.

Switched RL circuits can be pretty difficult. In this video, we cover how to quickly solve for iL(t), the transient (natural) response of switched RL circuits by analyzing the circuit before and after the switch is opened. Video Table of Contents: 0:16 - Problem Statement 1:10 - Transient...

Need help with a specific part of electronics that you'd like to see a video on? Reply to this thread or send me a private message. 

In this video, we'll teach you how to solve Electrical and Computer FE problems on diodes and Zener diodes and how to tell if they are operating in forward or reverse bias. Video Table of Contents (Click to Jump): 0:00 - Introduction 0:46 - Biasing 1:30 - Idea Diodes 3:09 - Idea Diode...

Most engineers already know that power factor (PF) is the cosine of the power angle (θ). But did you know that the power angle (θ) actually comes from the phase angle of the total connected impedance (Z)? This is a small detail that most engineers miss...

Our entire chapter on power electronics (Power Supplies and Converters) is included in the free trial of our online study program for the electrical power PE exam. It includes all reference text, practice problems and all example videos. Feel free to sign up and use the material for as long as...

I've been getting a lot of questions lately from students in our online program about the Two Wattmeter Method. Typically, these problems are very easy to solve if the system is balanced. However, if the system is unbalanced it can be quite difficult to derive the correct formula depending on...

Hi @akyip it's mostly just minor revisions and corrections, the problems are still the same so you are good to go with the copy that you have.

Most of the NCEES practice exam questions can be found pretty quickly using the search function. They've just about all been discussed: 

Studying for the October 2020 PE Exam? Our Practice Exam for electrical power is now available in print (hard copy) on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088455H8J?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

Thanks for signing up for our online program for the electrical PE exam, we're happy to have you.  While it will be more difficult with less industry experience, the PE exam is so large in scope that very few engineers will ever have first hand experience in all of the areas that the exam...

Get the Newman book for engineering economics. It's cheap and it is really easy to understand with simple examples. 

I like it too, just wish there were actual examples. 

Hi @akyip, looks like I missed this. There is no such thing as absorption conduction current, it was included as just a trick answer however I can see how this could be confusing. I updated the solution to expand on this, and to also label and describe the other insulation current curves shown...

Here is a quick example straight from our live class on how to solve for the power rating of an auto-transformer (solved using both the primary and secondary values) by re-configuring a single-phase 1,000 kVA rated transformer: A step up auto-transformer rated for 4,160 volts on the primary is...

Go full steam ahead. At the very least, it will expose you to the actual difficulty of the exam and give you more practice taking the real thing.
