Export clean, professional job reports ready to share with an inspector or client. BUILT ON THE CODE, NOT A GUESS Every table — ampacity, conductor properties, demand factors — comes from NFPA 70 (2023), verified cell-by-cell against the printed code book.

This app is a field reference tool and does not replace the judgment of a licensed electrician or the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Always verify calculations against the NEC edition adopted by your local jurisdiction.
