Third time was not a charm for me. Man, I'm getting sick of this.

I think the question was why S conjugate was used rather than reciting what the author wrote down. I'm not familiar with S*, but I've seen different texts use S=VI or S=VI*. We would use the I* since we are dealing with complex power. I* would indicate we would have both real and imaginary...

OK, thanks. Yeah, I thought I wasn't sure if I was missing something here. Generally, they would have to provide the actual voltage parameter for the generator to arrive at the S (actual) but I think they forgot to add that to circuit diagram. On 3.18, at least they provide the actual impedance...

For Problem 3.19, how did they get the actual voltage for the generator to be 25kV?

I've e-mailed Dr. Kaiser and I haven't received any response. Can someone PM his solutions if they have them? Thanks!

1st time taker and did not pass =( Gonna take another stab at it again this upcoming October. Wish me luck!

Thanks, guys! Looking forward to the all the help I can get.

Hello, I'm an electrical engineer looking for some help with taking the the Electrical (Power) PE exam. I recently took the PE this past April 2009 but did not pass. Hoping to gain some valuable information from the board. Any recommendations on books/notes/tips would be greatly appreciated.
