Thank you, BigWheel. I will certainly be trying my hardest to not have to repeat this process.

After taking the 8 hour exam you will be qualified to be chairman of the B-O-R-E-D.

This answer on this source agrees with us and says the V,phase,rms is 230V. Times sqrt(2), 325, for peak amplitude and times sqrt(3) , 565 for line voltage. The SPICE simulation below the answer agrees with these values. It seems this is another mistake in CI. I don't really care about the...

Oh, it comes from CI, so it's not a waste of time. My post is how you would calculate method 2(II) on your sheet for an arbitrary offset and peak to peak voltage. Summary:  DC component =(1.2+.75)/2= .975 AC component = (1.2-.75)/sqrt(12) = 0.1299 Combined = sqrt( .975^2 + .1299^2) = .9836...

rg1, here is the rest of the problem, please never post any problems like this again  :beerchug:  I have many pages of work to get to this point and have wasted much time on this problem. I actually think I have seen this problem before in Camera's Practice Problems. If you are using that...

You are a dangerous man, professor. These kinds of questions are a distraction from the workman attitude you need to use for the PE. I used to enjoy thinking about stuff when I was in school, but for my PE exam I am not entertaining it. After all that I will say I think your problem is the DC...

I'm really struggling with these power electronics questions. Why is the answer not 125 * sqrt(3) * sqrt(2)? The voltage provided is phase voltage and the voltage over the diodes would be line voltage?

So is the rule to always ignore phase angle for PE style voltage drop calculations? For example please see Complex Imaginary Exam 1 Problem 48. The phase angle doesn't affect the answer here but I'm trying to establish general rules in my head.

He's talking about this: http://www.schoolofpe.com/peelectrical/

I wish I was talking about architecture PE. But no, these are sample questions related to the electrical sections of the IBC. Anyways, I think we've beat this horse to death. The IBC is not on the PE exam.

Thank you for the much needed encouragement.

Hm, BigWheel, not funny right now. I took the NCEES practice tests this weekend and barely passed. I think I have better places to focus before I go off into the weeds.

The PE Exam Stdu Guide by Jeff Setzer puts a huge emphasis on the International Building Code. He recommends bringing large portions of it to the exam. This is alarming to me because nobody else suggests this. I'm accumulating too many resources as it is in my opinion and now this guy says I...
