The best Electrical App

I’ve been using this app for years. So handy and love that it gets updated with the code book. There is no better Canadian Electrical App on the market. I hope this app remains supported until I retire or else I’m screwed 😂

Oops

My fault, I downloaded the wrong one. I meant to load master, same price. Also voltage drop calculator does not seem correct.

What’s the difference between this and Pro? Should I upgrade?

Just would like to know if there’s any reason to upgrade to Pro? They look about the same.

Best app for electricians

Used this app for years on my blackberry and it was beyond useful. Saved a lot of time on the job and very accurate.

Glad to have found it for the iPhone.

I recommend to anyone looking for a superior electrician's app.

Update: still using this to date... got to make sure you press “done” and clear things before doing the next calculations.

Great app

Pipe fill calculator is difficult to use when using different wire sizes. Some sort of help button would be nice
