@Zach Stone, P.E.  I just gotta remember what to do with the different types of equipment. And of course the steps. Once I worked through it a few times I think I started to get the hang of it. I think we'd all appreciate any practice resources that you would would be willing to share. Best...

@Zach Stone, P.E.  Hey Zach! Thank you for your reply! I was actually thinking the exact same thing when I started working the problem!  But, we all kept asking for an MVA method on the problem so I figured there had to be one. I watched your MVA method on youtube to help me get through this...

@supra33202 @rg1 Thank you both for trying to find the solution to this problem. RG1 I have attached my work of the problem.   My result is Ifault= 2281.7A The books result = 2791.3A 1.) Do you agree with my MVA approach? 2.) Why do you think I'm 500A off? 3.) Could you explain a little...

Thanks!

@doubleoinfo07 posted the question here  I'm also interested in the MVA method for this question. Thanks, brip

Any result on this?  Just curious... I hope everything is going good!  Best regards. Brip

@bobbilly  Thank you for jumping in here! So looking at your example and then looking at the solution again.  You're right.  There were lots of white outs on this example.  I don't have the Example you posted in my book. (July 2016 Printing). But, I do see that I don't have to do anything with...

@supra33202 Thanks for the screen shot!  Good support for using Vsecondary for Zt2. What were your contemplations on the % reactance for Zbase for the Transmission Line in Zone 1? Do you think   - Zbase1 = 0.14(28kV^2/100MVA)  & Zbase3=0.18(28kV^2/100MVA)  or are they equal?

No problem @supra33202!  Let's see if we can make each other figure this stuff out. haha OK.... So... 1.)  When working with Transformer#2 you will be finding Zt2 in regards to the "Zone 3"  That stated you will be using the Secondary Voltage of T2 for Vbase-old.  Can you back check me on...

I’ve got a question about this example. I think I may be using a revised edition, since this post is a few years old now. But, my question is in regards to the base impedance that is calculated for zone 1&3. The equation states Zbase=0.18(vbase^2/sbase3p) But, wouldn’t zone 1 be 0.14?

Wowzers... I don't know if I should feel nervous or not. HAHA Wait... when it comes to the PE I'm always nervous.   Here are my thoughts on the outline changes. So I guess the next big thing is to get the new practice exam and see what these new problems look like. :)     THANK YOU FOR ALL...

Just curious, but how often do they usually make changes to the Exam Specs?

Thank you!

Do these results update live?  Or could you update this survey please? I'm really hoping more people submit their results for fails.

@vickass & @navixv  How did your study approach/method change for the retake? I've got all my study material organzied. I know I need to get better on the practice exams for one thing. Thanks, Brip

Failed Nashville, TN 2017 Oct. Power PE  :(     49/80... EEK... Congrats to all those passed and passing! Round 2... here we come! 130 days and counting. 

Good question... I'm pretty sure that is correct though. I think pass/fail is handled by each state that administered the exam. Can anyone offer some insight? @knight1fox3?
