Cerro Wire has introduced a new
electrical calculations app for the
iPhone® and iPad®, which gives
electrical contractors instant access
to an easy-to-use, all-in-one tool for
computing field measurements.
At the touch of a finger, electrical
contractors can calculate conduit
fill, voltage drop and amperage all
within a simple mobile app. Using
the conduit fill calculator, users
can enter the type of conductor,
the size of each conductor, the
type of conduit being used, and
the length of the conduit run,
and the calculator will return the
recommended conduit fill.
For voltage drop calculation,
users simply enter the length of
the conduit run and the type of
conductor, and the calculator
will return the recommended
conductor
size
based
on
NEC-recommended amperages.
The amperage calculator simplifies
an NEC amperage chart into a
convenient calculator. Combining
all three of these calculations in
a single app, Cerro Wire’s Voltage
Drop, Conduit Fill and Amperage
Calculator is a must-have.
The app can calculate voltage drop
for 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V and
480V voltages, as well as 277/480V
and 120/280V 4-wire voltages.
Calculations work for THHN/THWN,
XHHW, or USE copper or aluminium
conductors.
The conduit fill calculator applies
to 14 AWG through 750 MCM
conductor sizes, and works for
EMT, ENT, FMC, IMC, PVC, Type EB
PVC, LFNC-A, LFNC-B, LFMC and
RMC conduit types. The amperage
calculator can handle 14 AWG
through 1,000 MCM conductor
sizes.
The app has been successfully
launched and is now available
on iTunes. It is available for dual
download for the iPhone® and
iPad®. Cerro Wire hopes to expand
the app to Android at a later date.
