ElectriCalc: The All-in-One On-Site Calculator for Electricians Are you still switching back and forth between multiple calculator apps and search engines every time you pull a wire? ElectriCalc brings together the essential everyday calculations that electricians encounter on the job site into one single app. It works completely offlineβ€”even in basements without internet or remote job sites with weak signals. β–  10 Included Calculators - Voltage Drop Calculator: Enter wire length, current, and voltage to instantly find the voltage drop and percentage. - Wire Size Estimator: Estimate the appropriate AWG size based on current and Circular Mils. - Conduit Fill Calculator: Check the fill rate using wire and conduit diameters. - Box Fill Calculator: Verify if the junction box volume is sufficient. - Ohm's Law / Power Calculator: Intercalculate voltage, current, resistance, and power. - Motor FLA Estimator: Estimate Full Load Amperage using horsepower, voltage, and efficiency. - Transformer kVA Calculator: Calculate single-phase and three-phase transformer kVA and current. - Load Aggregator: Sum up the total connected load of multiple devices. - Conduit Bending (Offset) Calculator: Calculate bend distance and shrink values based on trigonometry. - Material Cost Estimator: Estimate wire costs using length, unit price, and quantity. β–  What Makes It Different? - Offline-First: Perform calculations anywhere on site without a data connection. - Favorites: Pin your most frequently used calculators to the top of the home screen. - Recent History: Your recent calculations are automatically saved so you can check them again instantly. - Trilingual Support: Seamlessly supports English, Spanish, and Korean, making it ready for Spanish-speaking crews on site. - No Login or Sign-up Required: Use it immediately upon installation with zero personal data collection. - Learn (Resource Center): Includes 8 easy-to-understand articles explaining the core concepts behind each calculation, such as voltage drop, AWG, single/three-phase, and motor inrush current. β–  Disclaimer This app performs calculations based on general engineering formulas and user-inputted values; it does not explicitly replicate the exact formula tables of a specific codebook. All calculation results are estimates for reference only. Final designs and construction compliance must be verified against the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local regulations, and confirmed by a licensed electrician. ElectriCalc was built for electricians who want to stop wasting time switching between multiple calculators on site.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TrueOhm at none against ElectriCalc's shown. ElectriCalc's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
