The 

ElectriCalc

®

 Pro

 is an invaluable calculator for today’s busy 

electrical professional. Unlike a regular calculator, it has intuitively 

labeled “electrical keys” and conforms to the 2011 (and 2008, 2005, 

2002, 1999, 1996) and future National Electrical Codes, allowing you 

to solve Code-related problems quickly and accurately. The most 

common NEC tables are now at your fingertips! 
An important feature of the 

ElectriCalc

®

 

Pro

 is that it is programmed 

to accept future NEC changes, allowing you to conveniently install 

future Code editions in a few simple steps.
The 

ElectriCalc

®

 

Pro

 instantly solves for:

• 

Kirchhoff’s Law

• 

Ohm’s Law

• 

Volts, Amps, Volt-Amps, Watts, kVA, kW, PF%, EFF%,  

and Resistance

• 

Copper and Aluminum Wire Sizes

• 

Parallel and Derated Wire Sizes

• 

Voltage Drop Wire Sizes, % and Actual Voltage Drops,  

Voltage Drop Distances and Wire Resistances

• 

Kilowatt hours and BTU’s

• 

Parallel Resistance

• 

Grounding Conductors Sizes

• 

Motor Full-Load Amps

• 

Overload Protection Sizes

• 

NEMA Starter Sizes

• 

Conduit Sizes

• 

And much more!
