Registered Electrical Engineer (G&T) study plan
Registered Electrical Engineer (G&T) · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Generation and Transmission Electrical Engineering Practice
Map Domain 1 into a personal syllabus covering generation plant types, transmission line models, and transformer fundamentals, then rate each sub-topic 1-5 on confidence
Derive and apply the short-line and medium-line (nominal pi) transmission models to compute sending-end voltage, regulation, and efficiency for at least four numeric cases
Build a one-page formula sheet for per-unit conversion, three-phase power, and symmetrical components from first principles
Work 25 calculation problems on generation and transmission fundamentals and log every error with its root cause
Your checkpoint
A dated Domain 1 syllabus with confidence ratings, a one-page formula sheet, and an error log of 25 solved problems showing corrected solutions
Generation and Transmission Electrical Engineering Practice
Compute fault current contributions from generators and transformers using per-unit impedance diagrams for a five-bus example
Explain and calculate the effects of excitation, governor droop, and load sharing on parallel generator operation
Analyze transmission line voltage drop, surge impedance loading, and Ferranti effect at no load with worked numbers
Compare protection schemes for generators, transformers, and lines and justify the choice for two sample single-line diagrams
Your checkpoint
A worked per-unit fault study for a five-bus network plus a two-page comparison table of protection schemes with justification notes
Electrical Power System Design and Analysis
Perform load flow by hand on a three-bus system using Gauss-Seidel iterations to convergence within 0.001 per unit
Solve symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault problems using symmetrical components and sequence networks
Size cables and protective devices for two sample feeders using derating factors for temperature, grouping, and installation method
Select transformer ratings, vector groups, and tap settings for a given load profile and justify each choice
Your checkpoint
A complete design-and-analysis workbook for one three-bus example: load flow iterations, fault levels, and device sizing with assumptions stated
Electrical Power System Design and Analysis & Electrical Installation Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Produce a coordination study for three series protective devices and demonstrate selectivity margins graphically
Apply earthing and bonding requirements to a sample installation, computing touch and step voltages for a substation grid
Identify the governing clauses for a given installation scenario across the applicable wiring code and utility standards and cite them accurately
Assess arc flash incident energy and specify personal protective equipment boundaries for a low-voltage panel
Your checkpoint
A coordination and earthing design package: time-current curves, grid resistance and touch/step voltage calculations, and a clause citation index
Electrical Installation Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Audit a sample installation against requirements for isolation, switching, and lockout-tagout, listing every nonconformity with its clause
Verify protection against indirect contact by calculating disconnection times for the applicable earthing system
Specify inspection and testing regimes for new and existing installations, including insulation resistance and earth continuity test values
Draft a permit-to-work and switching sequence for maintenance on a live-adjacent feeder
Your checkpoint
A mock compliance audit report with at least 15 findings, each tied to a clause, a risk rating, and a corrective action
Electrical Installation Safety and Regulatory Compliance & Engineering Management, Ethics and Professional Practice
Explain the statutory duties of a registered electrical engineer for design sign-off, supervision, and as-built certification
Resolve three ethics scenarios involving conflicting client pressure, safety risk, and scope changes using a documented decision framework
Outline tender and contract stages from specification to handover and identify the engineer's deliverables at each stage
Draft a risk register for a substation upgrade covering technical, schedule, and safety risks with mitigations
Your checkpoint
An ethics and professional practice casebook of three resolved scenarios plus a one-page risk register with owners and mitigations
Generation and Transmission Electrical Engineering Practice & Electrical Power System Design and Analysis & Engineering Management, Ethics and Professional Practice
Complete a full-length timed mock exam under exam conditions and record per-domain scores
Diagnose the three weakest sub-topics from mock results and rework 20 targeted problems in each
Rehearse written explanations of design decisions to exam-standard clarity and length within time limits
Review quality-management and record-keeping obligations for design deliverables and update your templates
Your checkpoint
A timed mock exam result sheet with per-domain scores, a ranked weakness list, and evidence of 60 reworked problems
Generation and Transmission Electrical Engineering Practice & Electrical Power System Design and Analysis & Electrical Installation Safety and Regulatory Compliance & Engineering Management, Ethics and Professional Practice
Retake a second full mock and target a measurable improvement over the week 7 score in every domain
Drill formula recall and code clause locations using spaced-repetition cards until recall is immediate
Consolidate all error logs into a single final review sheet capped at four pages
Simulate exam-day logistics: timing plan, question triage order, and check-answer routine
Your checkpoint
Final four-page review sheet, second mock scorecard showing improvement per domain, and a written exam-day timing and triage plan
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 70 percent on a self-made 30-question Domain 1 set covering line models, per-unit faults, and protection selection, with all errors corrected in writing
Week 4: Complete the three-bus load flow and fault study unaided within 90 minutes and defend every assumption in a written note; coordination curves show correct selectivity margins
Week 6: Produce the compliance audit with clause citations for at least 12 of 15 findings and resolve all three ethics scenarios with a documented rationale each
Week 8: Second mock exam shows at least a 10-point gain over week 7 in every domain and an overall score at or above 75 percent, with the final review sheet complete
