Thank you Bobby, those materials are very helpful.
I am being expected to become knowledgeable about arresters, with very little assistance from anyone else here. Basically the previous engineer that handled them, left, and I'm replacing that role. There are systems in place, and we have been...
Wasn't sure if there was a better option, more focused on utility. Didn't want to clutter up this forum if I didn't have to lol.
Anyways, my initial questions pertain to distribution arresters. My company has a lot of lightning activity, and thus, arresters are important. What is the best...
I am a recent graduate (EE) and have a new job for a utility company. I have some questions regarding various devices, and would find it especially helpful if there was some type of website/forum dedicated to the electric utility world.
It would seem, that with so many different companies in...
I really hope that's the case, because you're right, a Masters is the better option. Thank you for boosting my hope at least a little bit. I was a bit disappointed when I read the GPA requirements for some of the schools I was considering.
The thing is, my "work experience" is completely unrelated to engineering, so I'm not sure that would help me. Also I guess I need to find a program that accepts people who didnt have 3.0 in their last 2 years of engineering courses. The ones in my hometown and current region, have that...
Combination of things.
1. Being out of school for 3 years I feel it may be a bit of a challenge since I'm sure some skills were lost after not using high level math/physics for that amount of time.
2. I did look around and the schools I looked at require 3.0 in Engineering courses for the...
Long story short, I graduated in 09 with an EE degree from a good school. I went into an unrelated field for a few years and decided I missed engineering and want to get back into it. Getting a job has been impossible since companies want fresh out of college, or experienced, and now I'm neither...
I've considered that. I'm in a tough spot right now though, as I don't want to put this off for another year (I haven't taken the GRE yet, and I don't know if there will be another one in time for grad school applications to be put in).
I'd like to get into something by this coming fall...
You think that will still be the case in 2-3 years? I figure (hope) a lot of my basic courses transfer and I'd be able to finish in less than the usual 4 years...
Having graduated 3.5 years ago, and being unable to get an entry level EE job (I went into an unrelated field right out of college and have tried getting an entry level EE job for over 1 year now), I need to make a decision. I'm starting to think the only way I can get an engineering job is to...
I need some help with some basic MATLAB questions.
1) When writing a MATLAB code, do I create a blank new M-file, and write it there?
2) I need the program to calculate values for an equation, as I vary two variable within the equation. I'm unsure how to do this (for example, how do I...
So with our VDS and VGS values, we can't expect the MOSFET to act as a voltage controlled resistor anymore, correct? What behavior does it exhibit at this point, instead?
I'm trying to use a MOSFET as a voltage controlled resistor, and am under the impression that it acts this way when it is in the linear region. However, our VDS will be 2.5V-20V, and our VGS will be 3.6V-5V.
That means our VDS will most likely be greater than our VGS - VT, which means it will...
