    You would think they would have some type of inflatable gerbil tunnel that could be snaked through the cave. I should invent one otherwise.

    Transformer Question

    No problem.  Hopefully it makes sense and helps! For what its worth, it took me a while to figure it out too.  Phase angle is the last thing I care about and being that its a relative term anyway based on what you initially assign to zero... blah.  In the real world no one cares about phase...

    Transformer Question

    Understood, but know that I have the problem I can work it out and also know that the values I'm using are correct.   :thumbs: So to answer your question, converting things to a wye is a common approach for solving Delta's but is not required in this problem either as long as you keep track of...

    Engproguides question 54 exam

    The purpose of per unit calculations is to avoid doing what you are suggesting. The Z PU, 15% or .15, is already calculated for sbase and rated voltage.   it would only need to change if either the rated power output differed from sbase or the transformer primary voltage was other then the...

    Engproguides question 54 exam

    S_base is the only term that is maintained across all transformer changes in secondaries and primaries.   Ibase, Vbase, and Zbase must be computed per zone. They would have to be, otherwise (for instance) you would calculate a fault current several magnitudes smaller / larger then what would...

    Do you think the number of PEs will increase?

    They do.  if you read the top part this is just a list of each jurisdictions total. If you go to the last table, look at the resident  column.  the total number of engineers resident in the US, as compared to non resident and which basically mean multi license,  has been basically the same...

    PE Exam Prep vs. Grad School

    I mean in regards to how in-depth / useful it is.  Is it a cursory review or does it give an in-depth "ah-ha" type of moment? (and of course how much work is it.)   :violin:

    PE Exam Prep vs. Grad School

    I like theirs the best of what I've seen... it touches everything I want to learn more about.  What do you think of the curriculum material for someone a decade into the field?

    They do look a little too perfect and done up to be engineers.  Must be models for ads.

    POWER EXAM ADVICE

    I cant advise based on multiple attempts, but: you have an upwards score trajectory, This test was rumored to be harder then the last (and pass rate statistics suggest that as well), a time limit until the test radically changes and becomes computerized, and the specter of the...

    PE Exam Prep vs. Grad School

    Does anyone know of an accurate listing / website of Colleges that offer an On-Line Master in Power Engineering?   I thought I found one but it didn't have K-State, who is more expensive then I want but seems to be rock solid course offering for Power. You would think such a thing would exist...

    Sounds like a time management issue.  Should have gotten your PMP and Sigma Six first to help with the scheduling and efficiency issues.   :thumbs:
