I have a couple questions about working on the side. I currently work for an electric utility and have been there two years. Prior to this job, I worked for an electrical only consulting firm for four years doing design on new and existing water/wastewater facilities, retail, small industrial...

When y'all went out on your own, what did you do about cad blocks, specs, notes and all that stuff? Did you use the same stuff that you used at your old employer?

You are probably correct. I was trying to use what I had though. I guess I could try giving them a call. Our xfmrs are bought through purchasing and it seems like it would be easy to have them request that info every time we receive a test report but there may be a lot of hoops to jump through...

Thanks for the reply. What about the start up or cold load voltage drop? Say I had a 10hp motor which is approx 10kVA. At start up assume 50kVA. So it would just be .04x208? Does anyone know a way to get x and r data from core and load losses? We get %z and loss data but that's it. Thanks.

Man I hate that if I don't work problems for a while I have a hard time with the most trivial things. Use it or lose it. I have been working for a utility for a while and I came from the consulting world. We calculate voltage drop for services and here are my questions: We try to keep our...

That's kind of what I thought about a MBA program. It would have more classes that I wouldn't use. I am an electrical engineer and work for a utility now. I think that I will either be with a utility or in consulting for the rest of my working days. I worked at a small firm for for years and...

Thanks for the reply. Maybe it will become more known over the next couple years. I am really leaning towards starting. I like that it's slightly different than a traditional MBA and it seems valuable to me.

Considering applying for this program at David Lipscomb in Nashville. They just started it this past fall. I work for a utility and would like to make myself more competitive for management jobs in the future. I have been looking at this vs MBA. I just wanted to see if anyone was enrolled or...

Got my results this afternoon. I'm in Fairview which is right outside of Nashville. Passed PE Power exam. Thank God! It was my second and thankfully my last time.

I'm in Fairview and will hopefully have the results today. This wait has killed me. It was my second time and hopefully last. Man I need to see a pass on that letter. Does anyone know when the new PE's will show up under "verify a license" on the state's website?

Who did you email? Is there a general board address or someone specific. Just curious. I am in Nashville so it won't take too long once it's in the mail.

I think the way it worked in April in TN was that NCEES posted that they released the results to each state board. The next day TN posted that they recieved them and would have them mailed by a certain date. I didnt see any info on NCEES about them releasing the FE results but apparently they...

I think this should be easy but for some reason I can't remember how to do this. Generator A has a capacity of 3MVA with an impedance of 3%, generator B has a capacity of 4MVA with an impedance of 2%. Gen A&B are syncronized and operating in parallel. What is the max load Gen B can handle...

It makes my stomach turn too. EE 6 yrs experience. (2 in manufacturing, 4 in consulting) Take the PE in April 53k when i left manufacturing. 51K when I started consulting. 48K this year. It's been going down since my first gig. Started consulting so I could get my PE. Hopefully it will lead...

The 60 deg should be used for circuits rated at 100A or less so yes to your first question and yes to your second question.

I work in Nashville and am taking the April exam. I have started but my efforts are minimal so far but will turn it up soon. Where do you guys work? It sure would be nice to have an in classroom type review course in Nashville. Good Luck.

Just thought I would say hello. I work for a consulting firm serving the construction industry. I plan on taking the Power PE exam in April 2012.
