## What is OHMs Law Calc?

A precision electrical calculator for electricians, engineers, students, and AV/lighting pros — built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Single-Phase Calculator
Enter any two of Volts, Amps, Watts, or Ohms and the app solves the other two instantly. Results are displayed on a classic Ohm's Law pie chart with a live readout hub, so you can see the relationship between values at a glance.

Three-Phase Calculator
A spreadsheet-style grid for balanced or unbalanced three-phase loads. Enter per-leg voltage, current, or power and the app fills in the rest, including line and phase totals. Toggle between Delta and Wye/Star configurations — the math adjusts automatically.

Power Factor
A collapsible PF panel on both screens lets you apply any power factor from 0 to 1. Real Power, Apparent Power (VA), and Reactive Power (VAR) are calculated and clearly labeled. Your PF setting is remembered between sessions.

NEC-Compliant Breaker Sizing
Full Load Amps (FLA) and recommended breaker sizes are calculated automatically using NEC sizing rules, so you can spec circuits with confidence.

Visualization Mode
Tap Visualize from any calculation to see five live, interactive diagrams powered by your current values:

Delta wiring topology
Wye / Star wiring topology
Bus-bar distribution view
Phasor diagram with power triangle (P, Q, S, and PF angle)
Dashboard — an all-in-one overview combining schematic, per-leg cards, and KPI readouts
Print & Share
Send any visualization straight to AirPrint as a clean, light-mode page — handy for job folders, submittals, or classroom handouts.

Universal & Responsive
One app, every Apple device. Optimized layouts for iPhone portrait, iPhone landscape, iPad split-view, and Mac Catalyst, with full dark-mode support and high-contrast yellow input cells for readability on the job site.

Keyboard & Input Polish
Tap-to-select-all on any field, a Done bar above the keyboard, and auto-scroll that keeps the focused field visible while you type.

## Key features

### 5/5 — Quick and Easy!

*2015-03-28*

This app really does calculate Three Phase correctly... Not just using the old "lazy engineers" trick of multiplying by 1.732... But rather doing the actual VECTOR MATH to properly calculate BOTH balanced and unbalanced loads.  Works great for resistive AC circuits too!
The app does exactly what it says, makes single and three phase calculations a breeze.  I'll never get the wrong Three Phase Breaker again!

### 2/5 — Incorrectly calculates for AC

*2015-03-22*

Good attempt, but this calculator works 100% correctly ONLY for DC.  

For AC, it ignores Power Factor (PF), caused by ever present out-of-phase Reactive currents. All AC "Power" results are really in "Volt-Amps" (VA) not Watts.

For 3-Ph AC it incorrectly calculates  VA, when given Voltage & Current.  The correct method is: V x A x 1.73 (Sq Root of 3) = VA
 
Power in Watts is then: 
VA x PF = Watts 

PF is always a number between 0 & 1, with 1 being in-phase (purely resistive) current, and 0 being 90 deg out-of-phase (purely reactive) current. 

For calculations (where actual PF is unknown) a PF of 0.8 is typically used.

Resistance alone in never the only factor in AC Circuits.

### 1/5 — Sparky

*2012-09-01*

A  lot of better free apps out there!
Waste of money! Wish I can take my
Money back.

### 5/5 — Best ohms law app I have ever used!

*2012-04-24*

This is the best ohms law app I have in my electronics folder! I really like this app! Good job!A+

### 5/5 — awesome

*2012-03-03*

works just like described, it does 3phase and single phase.  It's also iphone and ipad compatible.  5 start app all the way

### 5/5 — Draftmen

*2012-02-28*

This is a very good calculator one of the best I have ever used . Very well done.

### 5/5 — Wow.

*2012-02-09*

3 Phase works!!! Finally an app with 3 phase that works. Great app, highly recommended. Very easy to use UI, saves a lot of time and mistakes. Helpful guide provided on website as well.  A must have.

### 5/5 — 3 Phase Values At Last!

*2012-01-31*

Great app. The only app that I've found that properly calculates 3 phase values.
