NABCEP test [RE-wrenches]

[Phil Schneider]

This was my first go-round with the exam ­ I was expecting it to be more
difficult after all I had heard.  Then again all I had heard may have
motivated me to study more than I would have otherwise.  I would agree that
there weren¹t many in-depth electrical calculations.  There did seem to be a
lot of practical ³physics² calculations regarding an installation (pull-out
strength, wind loading, roof load bearing,...).  I believe there were three
questions regarding appropriate point of connection and bus overloading.  I
thought some of the troubleshooting questions were pertinent, in asking
³what is the most important safety concern in this situation.²  I am curious
as well to hear the reaction of others, especially Wrenchers who have
previously taken a NABCEP exam.

cheers,
