    Plane Crash in Austin

    You know... someone really needs to do something about these Assault Airplanes. Do they let just anyone get one of these? As a nation we need to wake up and ban these things. Any plane equipped with fully-automatic flaps, noise suppressors (aka "silencers" aka "mufflers"), pistol grip...

    ANSI Delta/Wye Spec

    I just browsed through C57.12.00, I'm starting to think I was mis-informed in college. Could have sworn that either high side or delta was supposed to lead by 30deg, but I can't remember. Ah well. If anyone finds something let me know. Thanks.

    ANSI Delta/Wye Spec

    I seem to remember in college that the delta is supposed to lead the wye by 30deg to meet an ANSI spec. Does anyone know that specification number and where it is? Can't seem to find it. Thanks

    Q about new PE Power exam format

    Oh, and study the NEC. The practice exam from NCEES was very similar to the one I took, but I didn't study the NEC enough. If you buy anything else, make sure you buy an NEC handbook. Don't forget about the NEC.

    Power question 513

    I think each person is different, but when I was studying this stuff I leaned heavily on my college texts and notes. So I would take a look at them if you have them, if not the ones I liked were the ones you mentioned above, and the texts: Power System Analysis and Design (Glover Sarma)...

    2010 PE Exam Reference Material for Electrical Power

    I'm not rich, but $130 isn't a big deal. Hear me out; how much time and energy are you expending studying for this test? Additionally, I sold all the books I didn't want in about 2 days on amazon after I found out I passed. So even if you buy it for $130 and hate it, you can probably still...

    Big bottom

    Huh. I've been using "pour" and never gotten any crap over it. Professionals I work with use it as well, first time I've heard this. (I'm also electrical though, and as long as it's supporting my conductor, don't really care!) I don't pour coffee though. Can't stand the stuff. ;)
