    Voltage regulation Question

    Can anyone help me out with Q21. I am not sure if I understand this correctly. On generator we can measure the terminal voltage. So when operating at full load we take 1 pu as the terminal voltage and hence we calculate internal voltage using the E0 = Ex + E formula. So at full load we have E as...

    PE review Q 48

    Can anyone help me with this question? I am not sure if I understand the tap setting correctly. I am not quite sure what is restraining winding tap setting. I am assuming that because the two currents (4.8A and 8.3A) on the two sides of the relay are not equal, so there is another CT to make the...

    Transformer Question

    I have a question. If a single-phase transformer is given rated power, rated voltage, resistance, and reactance. Why is voltage^2/ (resistance+reactance) not equal to the power? If the question asks to calculate the primary/secondary current. Should I use Power/voltage or voltage/...

    Study Guide For PE 4.1

    Question regarding 4.1k Three phase power. I guess I don't understand the solution very well. I posted my solution as well. I got the right answer because that was close to my calculation. Can someone explain the solution? I don't understand why he ignores the reactance of the line when...

    Relay Questions

    I went through a few practice exams and encountered some relay questions. Normally questions gave you the relay number, and ask you the purpose of the relay. Do I need to remember all the relay numbers? how do I know what type of relay it is during the exam?

    Youtube PE Induction Motor Question

    I found this induction motor question on youtube. Learned a lot, also have a question for(III) Magnetizing Reactance. Seem like Zack used total NL reactive power to calculate the magnetizing reactance. he calculated that total NL reactive power is 49513 VAR, then used 575 square / 49513 I...

    Code question

    problem: Calculate the minimum size of TW type copper conductors required to feed a 45KVA 3 phase continuous load from a 480V/277V 3 phase 4 wire power distribution board. The temperature rating of equipment terminals is 60 C( 140F) The solution uses 45K/(sqrt 3*480) to calculate the ampacity...

    NCEES Power 71

    Can anyone help me understand this. The question said that maximum power is 5000MW occurs at angle 90 degree. if the power angle is 90 degree, does it mean it's pure reactive power? if it's reactive power, why the maximum power is MW instead of MVAR? For solution, why we use 3* 8.165 square *...
