Electrician's Helper vs Ugly's Electrical References

Electrician’s Helper will take the hassle out of looking up electrical codes and doing complex calculations for installations. With Electrician’s Helper you can... ● Calculate voltage, current and power in 3 phase delta and wye circuits. ● Find the ampacity of a conductor as per the NEC and CEC tables. ● Calculate the voltage drop in a line based on length, size, current and temperature. ● Find the total box fill by entering the size and number of conductors, straps and clamps. ● Find the maximum number of conductors allowed in a particular size raceway based on NEC and CEC rules. ● Determine what size raceway is needed for a bundle of conductors. ● Find the maximum bend radius of a conduit. ● Find the maximum capacitor kvar for a motor and the current reduction obtained. ● Find the motor current, heater current, breaker required, wire size, starter and conduit size for a particular 3 phase motor. ● Find the full load current of an induction, squirrel cage, and synchronous motor. ● Find the locked rotor current of a single or 3 phase motor. ● Estimate the Maximum Pull Tension. ● Calculate voltage, current and kVA of single and three phase transformers. ● Do basic ohm’s law calculations. ● Find decimal equivalents of fractions. ● Convert temperature scales. ● Look up connector configurations. ● Look up NEC tables 315.60(C)(1-20) Tested with iOS 16.6 thru iOS 26.3 Please note that this is a calculator for codes used in the NEC and CEC. It is not a replacement for the code books.

The Ugly's Electrical References App has been updated to reflect changes to the 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) and the 2026 Edition of our popular Ugly’s Electrical References book. The Ugly’s App offers the most pertinent, up-to-date digital information for electricians, including table change information, mathematical formulas; National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) wiring configurations; a conduit bending guide with videos, ampacity and conduit fill information, transformer and control circuit wiring diagrams, and conversion tables. The 2026 Edition: * Reflects changes to the 2026 NEC * Features expanded coverage of the following topics: * Full-load currents for 3-phase transformers  * Maximum number of conductors in electrical metallic tubing for trade sizes 5 and 6  * Equipment grounding conductors  * General lighting loads for non-dwelling occupancies  * Overview of important NEC code changes from 2020, 2023 and 2026  Electricians and electrical professionals have used ‘Ugly’s Electrical References’ book as their on-the-job reference for over 35 years.
