    New depth only electrical exam

    Unfortunately, I've taken both (power). It was different from breadth/depth in that the power questions (I thought) were a little harder, and obviously more of them. The NCEES questions were very similar to the exam. I liked the depth/depth better because there weren't any of those questions...

    NCEES Power Sample Exam #530 and #519

    Flyer-PE - Can you explain the following in a little more detail (in reference to the system fault duty)? "In this problem, they give you the available short circuit current in the form of MVA. This value can be provided directly as an impedance, available short circuit amps, or MVA. Since...

    New NCEES #504

    I know this is probably really simple, but I'm having a little trouble with this problem. "The diagram below represents the Thevenin equivalent of a single phase distribution system. A fault occurs between point X and ground. Rf represents the fault resistance. The current If is 3600A when...
