Paper format. National Exams, May 2013 —
07-Elec-B7 Power Systems Engineering. Open-book, three hours, non-communicating
calculator permitted. Seven problems of equal value (20 points each); any five
constitute a complete paper and only the first five appearing in the answer book
are marked. All seven are solved here, because the set is a study
resource.
