There's the hope that the results might be published tomorrow morning. Unlikely, but maybe since Thanksgiving was early this year, the results will be too....?

You will very likely need a doctor's note verifying your condition and recommending a change in working posture in order to be accommodated. If you have a history of accommodation at school/work, it will help in rendering a decision for accommodation in your favor. I'm sorry to hear that your...

It was a fair exam with a few tough problems. Most of the problems were straightforward, but a few were not. I'm confident that I cleared over 70% of both sessions, but you know what they say about counting chickens. I'm paranoid about revealing enough to be stalked out and have my exam...

I don't have that set of problems, but I definitely think A is the right answer. 

The important thing is to READ THE NEC CAREFULLY! In some situations it will tell you to use nameplate, but in many you should use the NEC values instead. PAY ATTENTION TO 430.6 when it comes to motors! For example, 430.6.A.1 Exception 3 states that you should use nameplate current instead of...

I think I was maybe a little unclear, and probably should have included a drawing, but you are correct, and that same solution was my intention.

Edit: I neglected to include the sequence impedances for the generator. Z1 and Z2 should both be 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3 pu, I believe. The outcome for the voltage across the positive sequence is the same.

The sequence network for a line-to-line fault is the positive sequence in parallel with the negative sequence. The positive sequence contains the voltage source, assumed to be 1 p.u. if not otherwise given, and Z1 in series. The negative sequence contains Z2. Using the voltage divider, we can...

Definitely print out a set of Interest Tables. They're generic, you can just google and find them. There's also a set in the appendix of the EERM. I would definitely tab that. If you don't know how to use them, it's a quick learn and will definitely save you some stress if an econ problem comes...

This is one of those situations where stepping back and thinking about the meaning of the question really comes in handy. Geometric mean is not specifically an engineering term, it is a mathematical one. It is always the nth root of the the total product of n measurements of available data. For...

The NEC is quite applicable to engineering. If I didn't put the right conductors and breakers on my design drawings, I'd end up with quite a bit of egg on my face when it came time for the client to review my drawings. I'd lose my consulting job pretty quickly if I couldn't reference the NEC...
