Can anyone give me some tips on studying and getting to know this code? I've gone through the mike holt UNEC 1 & 2 as well as the exam prep and I still feel completely lost. I was trying to work the CI drill book and cannot figure out how to find anything! My terrible knowledge of this...

Looking to see which course has been more effective.

for lateral or vertical?

Is anyone willing to sell this manual at a reasonable price? i'm only finding used books selling for the same or more than the cost of a brand new copy! :thankyou:

Up for sale is the ultimate study package for the POWER PE exam. If you have not read up on it, this PE test specifically throws out a lot of curve balls. This test was HARD. (I've taken civil before and it was cakewalk) I recommend that you study FULL TIME if you plan on sitting for April...

Anyone have these collecting dust? I'm looking to buy ....or accept charity! :rolleyes:

yippie!  :) still doesn't change the fact that the test was moslty bs questions  :blink:

I can upload a drawing if needed, but the concept is single. An AC voltage supply on the left feeds a resistance on the right in a single loop. On the top and bottom branches there is a diode on each pointing toward the resistor. Here is my issue: - if the voltage is measured across the...

I've been kicking my butt studying the material and equations, but all the practice tests (complex imaginary, gaffeo, NCCES) I've used so far have had a LOT of conceptual questions. I'm just wondering if the actual test is like this. Completely random trivia. I keep getting around 80-84% on...

Here they simply got a ratio of transformer kVA over system kVA to obtain % impedance Don't remember seeing any sort of explanation for this in the PPI book nor any other practice book (Gaffeo, Kaplan, testmasters) Any Help?

I am using the Kaplan book and it contradicts itself (among other errors throughout) Which power do I use for the Torque equation T=P/w the power at the shaft? or the power from IxE at the motor? (one Kaplan problem uses one, the very next uses the other power)

Can someone explain how the number 1.19 and [3*sqrt(6)] came from? obviously, it must have been an integration, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. The solution simply presents it. Is there possible a table that exists?

This book has so many errors, but I am not sure if this is one of them. Isn't the given current on a short circuit test the rated current? Here the rated current is 9.1 but the I_sc is 10.5 I ended up with the wrong power loss because I got a different value from 360W by using 9.1A current in...

I was previously advised to buy "Mike Holt: Understanding NEC Volume 1" which deals with chapters 1-4 and uses Chap 9 tables I did buy the volume 2 along with a test prep, but I think i'm running out of study time. Should I simply focus on chapters 1-4 & 9 or are ALL chapters likely to come...

hello everyone I am working out problems for PE exam. I kept coming across the term parallel paths for armature winding. This information wasn't address very well (if at all) in the Camara reference book. Can someone explain to me what this is? The review book that mentions it simply states: -...

Could not find this concept anywhere in my review material nor on google. What exactly is the difference? Or, what makes it different? I saw this in a sample question in a book and the only difference I saw was a factor of 2. Also, is there a line to line vs line to neutral inductance?

I am having a hard time following the logic behind many of these diode problem where circuit is given with a diode(s) set-up plus input voltage. I understand the concept just fine, but getting the output voltages just seems to elude me. I think I just need more sample problems. Is there a...

I am confused how to use this info. When a HP power rating is given, must I ALWAYS assume it is output rating? so a 100hp motor w/ 80% efficiency requires 125hp of power? I just want to confirm what I think I need to assume for a related question

I am so confused as I never really understood what this means. Given the attached circuit, where/what exactly is a bus ? on a side note, what is an infinite bus. I googled this of course but do not understand what I find.

I'm sure this could easily be a conceptual question. I remember professors specifying that the 3rd harmonic is lower in amplitude than 1st, 5th less than 3rd, 7th less than 5th, etc.  Even in problem statements this was evident by the equation. BUT this electrical contractor book i'm reading...
