How hard is power engineering?

Electrical Engineering is not hard to learn, it is not time consuming. You don’t work out pages and pages of math, but you need to work your way through it, you need to think, analyze and ponder over it. It needs a different kind of thinking than most other fields. It only needs you to be open minded to grasp it.

What is a First Class Power Engineer?

GENERAL. An employee in this classification acts as a shift Power Engineer in a high pressure plant. He is directly responsible to the Chief Power Engineer. First Class – A high pressure plant which develops over 1000 boiler horsepower is classified as a First Class Plant.

What is the difference between electrical engineering and power engineering?

Power engineer are engineers of a power plant. Its not completely electrical engineering. In layman terms only generator, switchyard, switchgears, buses and motors etc (which are drives for all fans and pumps) etc are something requiring electrical engineers.

Is power engineering Heavy current?

Heavy current vs. light current in electrical engineering. Heavy current: high voltage, high current, high power, but the low frequency. … Heavy current is generally applied for mains electricity systems and lighting systems such as air-conditioning, sockets, power cabling, and high-voltage wiring.

Is EEE hard to study?

No, electrical and electronics engineering is not hard at all. Its upto you and upto your interest. If you are interested in EEE then its easy and fun learning it and if you are not interested in it you will find it more tough. Same goes for all other branches and all other professions.
