    Wildi: Ind. Motor

    In your calculation you did not consider power factor and efficiency. You just used the real power (W), that's why you got 93.6 Amps . You have to convert that to apparent power(VA). 600 constant from Wildi's book includes the power factor & efficiency.

    I used IEEE- NESC and for NFPA-70 E I used 2015 version. Not sure if NCEES will switch to 2018 version of NFPA-70E for the April 2019 exam.

    I felt that way too. It is written in a way that it's difficult to understand. Try Art & Science of Protective Relaying ( Free Download from GE's website) and IEEE 242. These are also good books for Protection.

In the solution when converting the line voltage to phase voltage you divided it by √3 but did not consider the angle difference between line and phase voltage in a Y system. In a Y system Phase voltages lag...

    Is Graffeo Exam way too easy?

    EngPro Guide covers both NEC & NESC while Complex Imaginary only covers NEC. Complex Imaginary has 300 Practice questions, while EngPro Guides has only 40. Quality of questions in EngPro Guides is way better than Complex Imaginary.  I did not like the quality of Complex Imaginary's practice...

    Is Graffeo Exam way too easy?

    Graffeo was one of the first books I bought when I started studying. I bought Eng Pro Guides couple of months before the exam. By then I was already familiar with Graffeo, so ended up using that as my main reference. But I still printed the formula sheets at the end of Eng Pro Guides Study...

    Is Graffeo Exam way too easy?

    Yes, Graffeo practice exam is easier than Eng Pro Guides and NCEES. If you are looking for good practice exam check out Eng Pro Guides Full exam as well as their Code Reference exam. Solutions for couple of questions are wrong but overall the quality of questions is good.
