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

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
