WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING “Koji doesn’t judge. It feels like talking to the most patient teacher.” — Alan “Going through a lesson with Koji is more active, interactive, and guided than traditional learning.” — Lory “She read the problem out loud and figured it out on her own — ‘Oh! I know! Never mind, Mom, I got it!’ I'm seeing those breakthroughs more often.” — Arianne Send feedback to ios@brilliant.org.

Commercial Electrical 3D Guide puts you inside a fully wired 3-story commercial office building, rendered in real-time 3D with transparent walls so every electrical system is visible at once. Built for electricians, engineers, inspectors, contractors, and students, this is the most detailed interactive electrical reference available on iPhone and iPad. EXPLORE THE 3D BUILDING Rotate, pinch, and zoom through a complete building model showing power distribution from the utility service entrance to branch circuits on every floor. Toggle X-Ray mode to see through walls and trace every conduit run. Filter by system category to isolate exactly what you need. SYSTEMS COVERED Power Distribution: utility transformer, main switchboard, distribution panels, branch circuit panels, automatic transfer switch, bus duct riser, motor control centers, variable frequency drives Emergency Power: generator, ATS, UPS systems, emergency panels, critical load circuits Lighting and Controls: lighting panels, occupancy sensors, daylight controls, emergency lighting, exit signs Low Voltage: data rooms, telecom closets, fire alarm interface, security connections, grounding and bonding Mechanical: chillers, AHUs, cooling towers, pumps, VAV boxes with all electrical connections shown TAP TO LEARN Tap any component to instantly see its full name, NEC code reference, function description, inspection interval, common failure modes, and AHJ notes. Every component is linked to real code data you can use on the job. BUILDING SECTIONS Six 2D section drawings give you a schematic view of the building: three cut sections (A-A, B-B, C-C) and three elevations (West, East, North), all drawn to scale with every component labeled. Tap any symbol to open the tap-to-learn panel. Tap cut line indicators in the 3D scene to jump straight to the matching section view. LEARNING HUB - 8 MODULES Quiz: NEC code questions covering load calculations, conductor sizing, OCPD ratings, and grounding, with full explanations on every answer. Glossary: Complete electrical terminology covering NEC definitions, trade terms, and common abbreviations. Guided Tour: Step-by-step walkthrough of the power path from utility entrance to final outlet. Fault Simulator: Diagnostic sequences for ground faults, overloads, open neutrals, and arc-fault nuisance tripping. Load Calculator: Branch circuit, feeder, and service entrance calculations per NEC Article 220 with real-time results. Violations: The most cited NEC violations in commercial construction with correct installations and inspection tips. Inspection Checklist: Inspection forms for rough-in, service entrance, panel trim-out, and final phases. Mark pass or fail and review a summary report. App Guide: Complete walkthrough of every feature so you get full value from day one. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS Single Line Diagram: Full power distribution SLD from utility to branch circuits, color coded by voltage level. Floor Plans: Electrical floor plans for all three floors with full component labels and circuit routing. Legend: Complete symbol legend for every device in the drawings. Load Schedule: Panel schedules for every board in the building with connected loads and demand factors. Calculation Sheets: Service sizing, fault current, and voltage drop calculations shown in full. Equipment Schedule: Full equipment list with NEC ratings and installation locations. GALLERY 44 professional electrical reference drawings in six categories: distribution diagrams, floor plans, section views, details, schedules, and code references.
