Codewire vs BaseCalc Electric Calculator

Codewire is the fast, offline calculator set built for electricians and apprentices. No ads, no signup, no subscription. Every calculator runs on your phone, even with no signal. WHAT'S INSIDE - Voltage Drop. Single- or three-phase, copper or aluminum, with drop %, voltage at the load, and the smallest wire that holds your target. - Wire Ampacity. Adjusted for ambient heat and bundled conductors. - Conduit Fill. EMT, rigid, and PVC, with the 53 / 31 / 40% limits applied. - Conduit Bending. Offset, rolling offset, three- and four-bend saddle, 90 degree stub, and back-to-back, with per-size take-up. - Box Fill. Required volume from conductors, devices, clamps, and grounds. - Ohm's Law. Solve any two of V, I, R, and P. - Three-Phase Power and kVA to Amps. - Motor Full-Load Current by horsepower. - Unit Converter. AWG to mm2, kW to HP, F to C, ft to m, and more. THE BEND ANGLE LEVEL Turn your phone into a digital angle finder. Lay it on the conduit and read the bend angle live, hands-free, with a set-zero reference. Most apps charge for this. Codewire includes it free. SHOWS ITS WORK Every result has a tap-to-reveal with the formula and method behind it, so apprentices learn the why, not just the number. BUILT RIGHT - Works 100% offline. - No ads, ever. - No account, no tracking. Saved calculations stay on your device. - Clean, fast input designed for the field. FREE, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED - Voltage drop, wire ampacity, Ohm’s law, and conduit fill. CODEWIRE PRO (one-time in-app purchase) A single purchase unlocks the advanced tools: three-phase power, kVA to amps, motor FLC, conduit bending, box fill, the bend-angle level, saved calculations, and the full NEC reference tables. No subscription. Codewire is a reference tool. Always verify results against the code edition adopted by your jurisdiction and your AHJ. It is not a substitute for a licensed electrician.

BaseCalc Electric Calculator is an NEC-aware electrician calculator for job-site field math, worksheets, materials, and saved calculation history. Run voltage drop, wire size, conduit fill, service load, breaker, grounding, EV charger, generator, and other electrical calculator checks on site, then save the result for the job. 18 CALCULATORS FOR DAILY FIELD WORK • Ohm's Law — solve voltage, current, resistance, and power from any two known values. • Voltage Drop — single-phase or three-phase, copper or aluminum, with a 3% target check. • Wire Size — minimum conductor sizing based on NEC 310.16 ampacity with temperature and conductor-count adjustment. • Conduit Fill — fill percentage for EMT, PVC, RMC, IMC, FMC, and LFNC. • Conduit Size — auto-recommend the first raceway size that passes fill. • Box Fill — required box volume per NEC 314.16. • Conduit Bend — fast offset bend mark calculations. • Bend Layout — rolling offsets, 3-point saddles, and 4-point saddle layout guidance. • Service Load — dwelling service/load sizing guide based on NEC 220 concepts. • Breaker + Wire — continuous-load OCPD and conductor guidance. • Grounding — EGC and GEC starting-point sizing. • Motor Circuit — FLC, conductor ampacity, overload, and short-circuit/ground-fault guides. • Pull Box — straight, angle, and U-pull box dimension guide. • Derating — temperature correction and current-carrying conductor adjustment. • EV Charger — branch circuit and service-load check. • Generator — backup generator kW and output-current target. • Transformer — kVA to full-load amperage. • Power — kW, kVA, current, voltage, and power factor relationships. EVERY RESULT IS EXPLAINED • Clear pass/fail or sizing messages. • The governing limit, final answer, and calculation breakdown. • Saved local history so you keep a job-site record. DEVICE-LOCAL FOR THE FIELD • Works offline by default. • No BaseCalc account or cloud sync. • Job contact, worksheet, setting, and calculation data is stored in local app storage, protected by your device security. • There is no BaseCalc cloud option. • Device backups, when available on your operating system, remain under your device-account settings. • Dark and light themes with a high-contrast job-site interface. BaseCalc Electric is a professional reference tool. Always verify against the current National Electrical Code and your local amendments. The authority having jurisdiction has the final say.
