@MWC PE  Did you go to this to get yours?  Do you have to go to get it? Thanks, brip

I always considered questions that specifically request usage/reference of NEC as a "Codes and Standards" subtopic under "General Power Engineering". Otherwise, if there is no mention, I would consider it to be a "Protection" question under the "Transmission & Distribution" topic. But, I...

@gt9550a   Let's do it! When and where?!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm glad to say that results for the state of Tennessee have been released! And... I was lucky enough to have passed this second go-around! Thank you to all those who helped me here on EB. These forums were crucial in my success, and a big special thanks to the really...

@Szar did you get you information from an ncees insider? I'm sure there's an embassy somewhere he can live in...

I found slide 75/76 very interesting! Does this mean they grade all the tests, double and some triple checked, within 2 days?! :o

Thank you for that KL... I think you may be on to something.  At least let my brain cool down for a bit and get back with the family some haha And like you said... may have passed!! :P

I don't know if how I feel. I feel like the test was more difficult, but I was also more prepared so to me that almost feels like a wash. haha

I think it was harder than the Oct. 27th 2017 Exam. That said, I'd say there were 3 problems that I had no clue on and probably had 6 in the morning and 6 in the evening that required guessing. I felt the morning was more difficult than the afternoon. Just crossing my fingers and praying...

@BirdGrave...  I have not tabbed Wildi. I haven't even worked with it to be honest so I'm not sure what all it covers. I had a similar feeling to the PPI reference manual, which I'm uncertain how it compares, but for me I just went through and tabbed the specific topics I referenced most down...

@BirdGrave Thanks man. I appreciate that!   Trust me when I say last year was the busiest year of my life.   That said, I scored a 49/80. From the report generated from the Oct. 2018 test, I think I was about 4 questions shy of passing.   By the way.... t-minus 1 day and counting. 

Folks: Just wanted to open a thread to discuss power factors.  I'd like to narrow the scope of the discussion to commercial and industrial buildings, although the principals are the same for large scale power distribution. Notes: I know that lightly loaded motors have very low power factors...

@BirdGrave Tabbing for me was the best part of my review.    I tabbed the following : 2018 NEC with NEC tabs Graffeo per the table of contents (Upset with how narrow the index is) PPI Camera Reference manual My own equation binder I made using the most common equations. My first go around...

@BirdGrave Well last year was hectic to say the least. Got married, working on some big projects, truck got stolen, etc. So for this round I would say things have been more focused. Examples: Actually completed Graffeo cover to cover Completed the following practice exams PP1...

GOOD LUCK FOLKS! PE Round 2 in t-minus 4 Days and counting... ready to kill it!

Ladies and Gents, Was working out this practice problem in PPI Camara.  Problem #98. I got 100degrees. Looking through the solution I see that they put: (cos(180))=0...  well I got: cos(180)=-1 Thoughts?  Please, see references. AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THOSE TAKING THE EXAM THIS FRIDAY...

@rg1Explaining that the base is the same for both sides of the transformer makes sense. But, if you are transferring voltage across the transformer why do they use the "a (turns ratio)" and not "a^1 (inverse turns ratio)". One explanation I read online is to use intuitive reasoning to...

Rallying the troops here to bring back an old thread and a much loathed practice exam. Kaplan... Practice Problems 20 & 21 @knight1fox3 @supra33202 @rg1 & @Zach Stone, P.E.... I've attached my solution to #21 below.  I've also attached the Q&A to #20...  The original post...

@Engineer22 & @youngmotivatedengineer Engineer 22 I agree with Youngmotivatedengineer. You need to request the factory cut sheets of the equipment per model #. Make sure to look into any additional equipment options that may be selected for your appilcation. When you say "coil" I think of...

I currently use Nike Flyknit Free Runs and I don't feel like they have enough support. After just a mile or two and my feet hurt.   I'm thinking about switching back to Nike shoes with Trainer 4.0, 5.0, or 6.0 souls.
