Are there free resources for these code books somewhere? Last time I took the test it was only on the NEC now we need another $1K in code books every few years....getting ridiculous.

Do you know for sure you will make it to heaven?

Post fail scores if you got em so we can figure the possible cut score!......still waiting on Crapifornia.

The california board scheduled there meeting to approve the PE results: />http://www.bpelsg.ca.gov/about_us/meetings/agendas/20121207_agenda.pdf Looks like we should start seeing them either the 7th or the week after!

So I have been through the routine several times now. Study, Take test, impatiantly wait and refresh PE database until you go crazy only to find out after you give up all hope of ever getting your results that you failed once again...... Anyways after doing this more then I wanted to I noticed...

Well another test has come and gone....how many? I dont know I have lost count after 11 or so. Anyway, this OCT exam I took the coveted approach of not studying on dang bit! Im talking I never even looked at my notes and books! However the strangest thing happend during the exam; I felt like...

I was looking at the online data in California all the way back to 1999 and from 1999 - 2005 they posted the cut scores. Now for the exams from 2001 - 2005 they just posted a genaric 70 out of 100. But the earlier 99 - 2000 exams they posted 48 out of 80 as the cut score. So since 48/80 is...

Does anyone know of any Electrical Power review courses being held in the Sacramento, CA area? I have been waiting and searching for one for the past 2 years. Thanks, Nate

I have failed the Power exam 7 straight times in a row! Has anyone out there taken this thing more then 7 times and eventually passed? I think im going to skip the Oct 2009 exam just to get a little emotional stress break then take the PPI review course for the April 2010 exam. What do you guys...

Ok, so I suck a little at this Per Unit analysis stuff....... so can someone explain this problem to me? Why does the solution use 100MVA as a base? Thanks!

Ok this power meter thing is a bit confusing to me. Now looking at the answer in the back I understand it and why they would read the same a a PF of 1.00 heck I even guessed it was 1.00 before looking at the book. I just need some explaining done on the ins and outs of this problem as follows...

Ok so I have no notes or study material nor can I find any on the inner-net that explains the what how and whys of this problem. Can anyone on hear do this??? How are you suppose to know that the transformers will load in inverse proportion to there impedances?? .......Im lost. Thanks!

Anybody have any decent internet references for Magnetic Circuit Theory?

I have been looking at this problem for a bit and still dont quite understand why they selected the answer A for the neutral current. The supply contains a full-wave rectifier bridge and it would make since that the current graph would look like choice B. I believe that choice B would be a...

In the solution for this problem it seems like they are solving this system as if its a Balanced Wye system and not a balanced Delta system because they are performing the calculation by solving for VAN in the first part of the equation. In a delta system isnt VAN the same as VAB?????

Well I have started studying again........ and I have a question on this problem. (see attached PDF) In the equivalent Single Phase circuit why did they not add in the impedance of the Neutral line (1+j0.01)? Is this an error on the page or did they do this for a reason? Thanks! Power_prob.pdf

So the new power exam will have questions from the NESC as well as the NEC???? If so what versions the 2007 NESC and the 2007 NEC?? That means I have to spend another 300 in books just to take the new version of this test!!!!

WE SUCK! Mark your calendars for good old February!

Okay so why divide by SQRT 2?
