After talking the exam for the first time. Tonight I feel like more.

Exactly... Pure evil... Blue is kind of neutral.

I was in NYC and we got Blue.

WTF. I HAD A BLUE ONE. And they DID NOT let me keep it.

Just show up anyway and see what it's like. Just start filling in answers. You must take your chance. The choice has been all yours.

I prefer to eat light. Maybe a salad and soup for dinner the night before. Then breakfast would be an English muffin with jelly or something with a banana. Then for lunch on the day of the exam would be a sandwich with some apple sauce and a plain chocolate bar for added sugar. You don't want...

Fundaments of Power System Protection by Y.G. Paithankar and S.R. Bhide.

Jeez, I keep forgetting some people have to go long ways to get a test site. Luckily I'm in NYC which will take an hour to get to in traffic. I guess I'll do some quick tabs tomorrow and the books are getting closed. I'll compile them and put them in my duffle bag. I already made my lunch and I...

Same here. Stuff like grounding or illumination I'll probably just look up. I'm getting tired of studying. It's too much. I want to relax.

The relay setpoint is 5V as given in the problem. The relay is tied to a transformer. The transformer turns ratio is N1/N2 or V1/V2. So, the turns ratio is 120. The secondary voltage would be 5V whereas the primary voltage would be 5V*120 = 600V. Therefore the contacts in the relay will change...

Seen this exact problem before. You have to compensate for the phase shift on the wye side so, multiply the current by root 3. It's also done this way in one of my protection books I have. If it were delta-delta or wye-wye then there's no root 3 multiplication, I think. Just another little thing...

Thank you and good luck to you as well. I'm not going to stress over it. Just going to walk in, do my thing and leave. I know for sure we'll see topics we've never seen before which is unfortunate. Just keep your mind straight, don't freak out and do your best.

I hope we get green pencils on Friday. Anything green. Green is good.

That's the black one. Mine was white and red, I believe. Red grip and red top.

Destroy it and send it to the depths of hell where it belongs.

I believe that, considering I did not pass that time. I had better luck with the erasable pad and marker.

I can just picture it like Who Wants To Be a Millionaire's "phone a friend". Me: Is it A) Class RK5 Type Fuses, B) Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker, C) Ground Fault Relay or D) Nontime Delay Fuse... 20 seconds! Author: Um, you know I really don't know. Could you repeat the choices again? Me...

I had a red pencil for the last paper FE exam in October 2013. I hope we get the green this week. Green means "go" and it's the color of luck. Not that I'm superstitious but it's a nice thought.

It is ridiculous. In fact, from what I've seen from previous survey results from Eng Pro Guides a lot of the people that passed didn't even take 70E, 497, 499 & 30B. I'm only taking a short handbook version of 70E. I can't buy all of these references, read and tab them for one possible...
