All, Does anyone know if any on-demand websites, or a friend you can ask, that you would recommend? My previous employer had a subscription a website (I can't remember name) where it just had a long list of of videos on demand you could watch (without taking a quiz) to accrue my PDH's.

Hey guys, if this is the wrong forum please direct me somewhere else. I am a substation engineer, 15 years experience, I got my MSEE/PE/PMP. I live near a city and make around $115,000 a year. I do enjoy my job, but I can tell they are pushing me into directions I don't want (management...

Got a good buddy waiting on his, don't know if it will be this week or next week, just curious if results have came out today.

Hey guys, I am going to take my "Master Electrician State License" and the main book is of course the NEC. I know the NEC well from the PE but I do need to learn it at even a deeper level. I have the CI 300 NEC problems book, does anyone else have any references you would recommend?

Guys it is Monday morning and I'm FEELING GOOD AND LOOKING GOOD! I want every person that reads this to enjoy their PE, or get HYPED UP AND GO STUDY NOW!!! Had a couple of conversations this morning and nothing feels better than starting with "As a Professional Engineer........" I noticed after...

Got my PE and my next to-do is possibly getting a PMP. Had a few questions for someone that has taken the exam before.

Hey guys! Posting this video that Zach and I made together because I would have loved to hear something like this when I took the exam. I would research like crazy on different study methods, what works, what do they wish they knew etc. If you have any more questions about my study methods or...

Over 500 hours studied, worked over 2500 problems, been studying since last October (14 months) and with THE BEST IN THE **** BUSINESS Zach Stone by my side. I walked into that test my first time and dominated it! I am honored to be part of the Professional Engineers.

Looking at Zn, I don't know when to use the -.67 or the -1.25 I don't know why it has 2 values.

Where is the voltage of 90 degrees we are subtracting from? I'm remembering why the other 2 times I studied my ass off and exam got canceled I got frustrated at the white book. I have worked 50 of these problems and never seen a random 90 degree subtraction coming in. Just like the voltage drop...

Why do I take the peak voltage before doing my calculation instead of just using my RMS? Is this some battery thing I don't know about where the 60V on the other side is considered a "peak" voltage?  

I'm sure it's because I'm tired, but I can't follow the solution of "because the connection, the high side is the phase voltage"......  

It says "You can use the other formula and get same answer, and I'm not getting same answer. I'm getting like 473.8 (of course just enough to make you chose wrong answer). What am I missing here?  I don't see anywhere in reference handbook, or NEC telling me to use this method of keeping the...

Can someone try to put this in terms I can understand? The solution is you should just "assume 4 because the motor is going to run slightly faster than rated speed".  I don't work in the motor fields, but if the motor is designed with 4 poles why wouldn't the name plate say it has 1,800 RPM...

Does anyone else get the same answer they do? I get closer to D. Why aren't they finding the "Z effective Impedance" instead of just using R and X?

I can't find this in NEC or any other literature I was looking in. I could see this being a PE question, but I don't want to take this books "word for it" without verifying it. 

When I solve this problem, I am using Load C and A to get my angle of current. I am giving the PF of the load, so I am taking the conjugant. In this solution It is using 240-angel and 120-angle and I don't know why they are doing that when finding current. 

I'm assuming the "gotcha" here is you don't multiple this current by 1.25% even tho its a continuous motor to size your cable?  

Can someone help me connect the dots, I don't know how to know just to automatically go to #3 at 430.24
