  • Nicet exams are much different than Neta?

    The NICET 1 EPT is now mostly safety oriented questions. If you take the safety practice tests and the basic electricity tests until you can get 70-80% consistently you will be in good shape. The NETA 2 is much much harder than the NICET 1 presently. I have passed both in the last couple of years. Basic testing knowledge and OSHA 10 will easily get it done.

  • NETA Level 2 Surge Arrester question

    Same things have happened to me. Sometimes test guys gets it wrong. There is a way to tell them about it and they will review it but I have never done it so I can’t be of help there. Most everything I have read on the site is great but there are totally quit a few errors. Happy hunting!

  • Adding single phase transformer kva together

    I have been working with quit a few 3 phase transformer banks consisting of 3 single phase transformers tied together lately. Particularly either pole mounted units, or 3 “cans” at ground level, and the question arose, if each transformer “can” , is listed at 50 kva, is the xfmr bank going to be a 150kva bank? Methodology being: simply add the 3 valu...

    Interesting. Well I guess that’s not good news for me because I am on the nicet path, but if I ever start down the Neta journey maybe I’ll be in luck! Thanks for the feedback

  • NETA Level 2 Surge Arrester question

    Actually, I'd say that the link is wrong too. Metal oxide surge arrestors can be gapless, or they can have gaps. Just google gapped MOV arresters and you'll get lots of results for how they are designed, why you might prefer them to gapless arresters, etc. That said, I have no idea how common they are, because I'm pretty sure all the MOV arresters I've teste...

    **1. What is the main difference in construction between older surge arresters and metal oxide surge arresters?** *Your Answer: Metal oxide arresters have a resistive component, while older surge arresters are purely capacitive.* Correct Answer: Metal oxide arresters contain blocks of zinc oxide and air gaps, while older arresters consist of silicon carbide ...

    Yes. I used to be a NICET 2 certified tech and now I am a NETA 4 tech. NICET is way more annoying with their "which 2 or 3 out of 4 apply" and the fact that there is a NICET 1 which in difficulty seems very similar to NETA 2.

    Interesting 🤔 I have not taken any Neta exams, but like I said in my post the nicet exams seemed to me to be easier than the Neta practice exams on this site. Do you currently have a Neta cert?

    Lol yes maybe harder is better. I also scored around that range and passed my level 2. I guess a 50% is good enough! 🤣
