Calculators

Ceiling Fan Support Rating Calculator

Compare complete fan weight, additional accessories and the manual’s minimum support rating with a documented mounting assembly and compatibility.

Calculators

Switch Cable Quantity and Stock Roll Planner

Plan continuous cable cuts from a specified circuit route, actual slack and parallel cable counts, then allocate stock rolls and quoted cost.

Calculators

Dimmer Actual Load Calculator

Check actual lamp or driver W/VA, load range, lamp counts and compatibility against the exact dimmer’s documented load-type and ganging limits.

Calculators

Circuit Breaker Candidate Calculator

Compare actual breaker catalog ratings with weighted circuit current and verified conductor or equipment limits; identify when no candidate fits.

Calculators

Wire Gauge and Ampacity Selection

Compare copper and aluminum chart sizes using required ampacity, correction factors, terminal ratings and protection limits; save the full basis.

Calculators

Home Project Cost and Lifetime Comparison Calculator

Build an installed quote, compare lifetime costs and calculate material packs. Separate payment-day cash from later reimbursements using your project records.

Calculators

Panel Demand and Space Planner

Reconcile documented split-phase demand categories and per-leg current, then count actual panel spaces and circuits in a separate inventory.

Calculators

EV Charging Circuit and Time Planner

Check configured EVSE AC current against ordinary circuit limits, then estimate charging energy and time using vehicle acceptance and efficiency.

Calculators

AFCI Circuit and Breaker Inventory

Count unique planned AFCI and dual-function breakers from reviewed circuits, retaining approved alternative protection and unresolved decisions.

Calculators

GFCI Device and Coverage Planner

Map actual GFCI devices and downstream outlets, record tests and expose unknown requirements without inventing circuit or device counts from rooms.

Calculators

Feeder Conductor Comparison

Compare documented feeder ampacity and actual AC impedance, recalculate voltage drop for every conductor and identify when no candidate fits.

Calculators

DC and AC Voltage Drop Calculator

Calculate DC path drop or approximate single-phase and balanced three-phase AC drop using actual conductor data, circuit current and a chosen limit.
