Greetings fellow Electrical PE (POWER) Takers,
I took the exam in Oct 2009 and unfortunately did not pass it. I was close but there were some (about 4 or 5) problems on there that I was unprepared for. There were some problems related to (current transformer) CT and relay configurations at electrical service entrances. It was not just a function of knowing transformer relationships (ie. N2/N1 = V2/V1, etc )..I dont remember the exact problem (obviously) but no reference material that I have found covers this subject efficiently. Im a "facilities" related electrical engineer and have done design for for new and renovated facilities, construction, project management, etc and yet I dont know this stuff because it appears to be a topic that would only involve power companies (utilities) or contractors who install electrical services.
Did anyone have the same experience and can someone refer me to sample CT/relay problems & solutions?
THANKS!!
