I have been out of the discussions since I didn’t think that I would change any of the non-PE mind. BobPE has been doing a good job in explaining the main reasons why our engineering profession required licensing. At the same time, Melone still putting up a good discussion, especially his last...

I am refering to the leather bound "silent Sentinel". It's a beautiful book and was printed long before I was born. I guess I got lucky on eBay.

I am not sure if any other Engineering States Boards will give full reciprocation except Texas. However, I am sure that several States specially those that share the boarders will exempt PEng from having to take the EIT. The EIT is a bitch exam if you have been out of school for a long...
Is the book any good? Does it covers all the major protection applications including transformer, bus, motor, generator and line protection? In addition, does it detail types of relays available such as O/C, differential, undervoltage, directional and pilot for the above equipment and how they...
Greg:
PE is NOT meaningless outside of US. To name a few, Canada and Australia both have some forms of reciprocal agreements with US Engineering Broads.
From your posts, I think you may be an engineer from the UK. Personal experience has also confirmed that US PEs have no problems in...
You should calculate the short circuit fault current at the 300A service location to see the kA rating required. This fault current information at the location where you are installing the breaker may already exist in your plant. As a rule of thumb, for service less than 600V, the kA is rated...
