Engineer Electric Work study plan

Derive and apply Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws, and series/parallel reduction to solve at least 20 mixed DC resistive networks by hand

Compute real, reactive, and apparent power and power factor for single-phase and balanced three-phase loads, including delta-wye conversions

Explain per-unit representation and convert impedance, voltage, and power quantities between actual and per-unit values on a chosen base

Describe the generation-to-load chain (generation, step-up, transmission, distribution, utilization) and state typical voltage levels and loss reasons at each stage

Calculate line voltage drop and percentage regulation for given feeder lengths, conductor sizes, and load currents in single-phase and three-phase circuits

Compare radial, ring, and interconnected distribution configurations by reliability, cost, and fault current behavior

Explain transformer operation, turns ratio, impedance voltage, and vector groups, and compute secondary voltage and current for a loaded transformer

Sketch the equivalent circuit of an induction motor and identify how slip, torque, and starting current relate

Classify DC and AC generators and motors and match each type to a typical industrial application with justification

Compute motor full-load current, starting current, and protection settings from nameplate data

Explain the operating principles of fuses, molded-case circuit breakers, and protective relays and select coordination for a simple two-level system

Interpret a time-current characteristic curve and check discrimination between upstream and downstream devices

Perform short-circuit current calculations for a simple network using impedance methods and state the effect of transformer and source impedance

Describe earthing and bonding systems (TN, TT, IT) and explain how each affects fault clearance and touch voltage

Size conductors and protective devices for a given load schedule considering current-carrying capacity, voltage drop, and derating factors

Select cable types and installation methods for indoor, outdoor, and hazardous areas with stated reasons

Produce a single-line diagram and a layout drawing for the week 4 installation showing circuits, protective devices, and earthing

Locate and apply the clauses governing conductor sizing, protection against overload and short circuit, and disconnection in the applicable national electrical code or standard

Distinguish mandatory requirements from guidance and identify which standard applies to a given installation type

List the inspection and testing steps required before energizing a new installation and the acceptance criteria for each

Explain the hierarchy of standards and regulations from international to national to local level and where each binds the engineer

Apply lockout/tagout, isolation, and verification-of-dead procedures to a described maintenance scenario and identify every step where a hazard could recur

Identify arc flash, electric shock, and step/touch voltage hazards and state the controls for each in order of effectiveness

Evaluate energy-efficiency measures for motors, transformers, and lighting and estimate the annual energy and cost saving for one measure

Describe environmental obligations relevant to electrical work, including handling of insulating oils, batteries, and electronic waste, and the disposal route for each

Apply a simple project lifecycle (scope, schedule, cost, risk, handover) to an electrical installation project and identify the critical path

Analyze at least three engineering ethics scenarios involving safety compromises, conflicts of interest, and competence limits, and state the correct course of action with reference to a published code of ethics

Explain the engineer's duty to report unsafe conditions and the limits of signing off work outside one's competence

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record the score by domain

Review every missed question from the mock exams and write the underlying principle, not just the correct answer

Revisit the two weakest domains and solve ten targeted problems in each

Consolidate a single formula and reference sheet covering all eight domains for final review
