App required for installers, designers and electricians, who wish to have at hand all the tools necessary for a correct dimensioning and verification of the electrical plant. Now you have all the design data available in the places where you need an immediate evaluation and control. There are two tools: 1) Project calculation Allows a fast calculation of the current absorbed by a load in low and medium voltage, the dimensioning of the electric cable, the verification of the voltage drop and of the working temperature of the cable. The App provides the freedom to set any voltage and frequency (50-60 Hz, DC) power supply, the load type (three-phase, single phase), the power factor and the ambient temperature. There are multiple International low voltage installation tables (CEI 64-8, IEC 60364, NF C 15-100, BS 7671, UNE 20460, NBR 5410) and as many for medium voltage. 2) Projects The design file of an electrical plant created by the program Ampere of Electro Graphics can be sent directly to your mobile device via email attachment or by copying the files on the device. Projects can be opened, viewed and edited on the device and then transferred to the computer with the same tools, and then proceed to upgrade the project using the "Update from Ampere Mobile". You can then work directly on the 'field' with your project Ampere, run verifications on sight, shooting and storing pictures for each unit, edit useful comments to be reviewed calmly in the office or to send to your colleagues in real time. The installer can use the app to share with you the project itself, promptly reporting any problems that may arise during the implementation phase of the electrical plant, and thus receive immediately any reviews. The application does not need internet connection.

Verdict

The call

Ampère Mobile and Lighting Calculations both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of Lighting Calculations's written reviews are positive against 25% of Ampère Mobile's. Lighting Calculations also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Ampère Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lighting Calculations sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. Ampère Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ampère Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lighting Calculations has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Ampère Mobile's written reviews are positive against 60% of Lighting Calculations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ampère Mobile ships an update every 11 months, Lighting Calculations every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
