Synopsis

More Than 560 Practice Problems for the Open-Book NCEES PE Electrical Power Exam

Power Practice Problems for the PE Exam contains over 560 problems designed to reinforce your knowledge of the topics presented in the Power Reference Manual. Each chapter corresponds to a chapter in the Power Reference Manual; so you can read a chapter and then solve problems on the same topics. Short, six-minute, multiple-choice problems follow the NCEES PE Electrical and Computer: Power exam problem format and focus on individual engineering concepts. Longer, more complex problems challenge your skills in identifying and applying related engineering concepts. Solutions are clearly written, complete, and easy to follow.

Practice Problems in this edition cover the same topics and concepts as tested on the current PE Power Practice Exam. This book was created when the PE Electrical Power Exam was open-book; a  closed-book version with NCEES Handbook references is currently being planned. This edition still covers the same topics, concepts, and equations that will be tested on exam day.

Topics Covered

• Circuits: Analysis; Devices and Power Electronic Circuits
• General Power Engineering: Measurement and Instrumentation; Applications; Codes and Standards
• Rotating Machines and Electric Power Devices: Induction and Synchronous Machines; Electric Power Devices
• Transmission and Distribution: Power System Analysis; Protection

Key Features

• Over 560 problems that follow exam problem format
• U.S. customary and SI units are equally supported, and units are meticulously identified and carried through in all calculations
• Frequent references to figures, tables, equations, and appendices in the Power Reference Manual direct you to relevant support material
• Binding: Paperback
• Publisher: PPI, A Kaplan Company
