Thanks! I got it now...First time I ran into this. Im use to 480 3 phase....not this 240 stuff.

Well this question is actually work related and since I havn't come across this issue before I thought I would ask hear. I have a small pump station hooked up to a 3 phase 240 VAC feed. On the incoming legs I get Phase to Ground voltages of 122VAC for Phase A & B but on C I get 212VAC! This...

Regarding the NCEES Power Problem # 235: The answer comes up with a value of It = 1.0+j0. Where did they find this?

So I understand the answer givin but I do not understand the reasoning as to the solutions explination of why choice B is incorrect. Choice be states "By starting a motor unloaded until it reaches operating speed then connect the load via a clutch in order to reduce starting current...

I got it. Thanks......I was thinking I could just add in phasor form straight across.

In that thread you state the following: **************************************** This is pretty much just an expansion on how the NCEES solution is put together: Known Values: VLL=VAB=12.5kV at 0 deg. IL=IaA=70A at -20 deg. ZLine=5+j10 ohms Step one, convert line voltage into phase...

Is it me or am I just doing the math wrong? I keep getting an answer of 13.84KV. Can someone double check? The book say's 12.95KV.

#522 A Power Plant uses a turbine driven synchronous generato rated 3-Phase, 150MVA, 13.8KV, 0.85 Lagging PF. At rated conditions the Real Power output (MW) is most nearly:....... I calculated as follows: 150MVA * 0.85PF * 1.73(for 3-Phase system) = 220 MW However the book seems to answer...

Does anybody have a good Afternoon Power Practice test that is representative of the PE exam that I can find online or whear abouts? I already have the NCEES books comming in the mail and the camera books. I have one Morning exam but I dont have any afternoon power stuff.

Then yes you would do better with the controls pm section. I was doing controls for pumpstations and the like so I got a lot of 3 - phase power info.

I have the exact same background as you! What type of Control work do you do??? I do think you will be way better off taking the Power section though. I have browsed through the Control section of the test before and said no thank you many times.

Yes, im taking the Power PM Depth.

I know that is weird.......but hey if we could protest the scantron test then I would! Im deffinitely signing up for the review course hear in sac for the OCT 2008. I decided to pass on the class for this coming April exam since its already a 1/3rd the way over.

Well no I dont have the NCEES book but I did just order it so hopefully it will get hear soon. Funny thing is in April 07 I didnt study hardly at all and only got one zero. For the OCT 07 exam I did worse and I studied a lot. Hear is a break down of my OCT score: Professionalisim and ECON: 100...

So I have failed the California EE exam for the fourth time in a row. I do keep getting gradually better and better but this $275 fee and stress is killing me! So I need some help. Currently I got the Camera books and a copy of the 2002 NEC and a 1990 copy of ugly's electrical references. Any...

About how far do you live from sacramento? Im about 40 mins away but im out of town this weekend and im tempted to go home just to check the mail!

The data base has not been updated yet with new PE's. Im watching the EE numbers and they have not changed yet.

Just confirmed it that they are sending the result letters to the post office today!!!!!! CRAP!!! Im going out of town tonite for the weekend! I cant handle the fact that I might get my results tomarrow and not be home! :brickwall:

I would say that yes today is the date.....but we will not hear anything until monday. :smileyballs:

I thought they were having a two day meeting thursday and friday. I would say Monday at the earliest.
