<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCable Calculator<\/a>, available for Android and iOS<\/a>, is one of the must-have apps for electricians. Made by the German cable manufacturer Faber, the app features a simple yet powerful calculator that helps you work out cable diameters quickly and precisely.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe app enables you to input the electric power or rating, cos phi and length of the cable, after which it will present the diameter required for either copper or aluminum cables, taking into account the most common cable styles and a range of installation types, whether that\u2019s a ground installation, buildings, walls, cable trays, and many more.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Using the Faber app, you can set the nominal voltage, permitted voltage drop, power factor and more to further refine your output. Although the tool does recommend part numbers for Faber cables and wires with links to purchase them, it\u2019s easy to reference the appropriate specs for the chosen brand in your location or territory.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSticking with the theme of calculations, another valuable tool for every electrician is Mobile Electrician<\/a>. While it\u2019s only available for Android, it\u2019s one of the most indispensable apps for electricians, offering simple or complex calculations that electricians will encounter every day and even the rarer ones that might not come up so often.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith some much information available online these days, it should be simple to quickly reference things like Ohm\u2019s law for DC or AC, capacitive reactance or discharge times, and this is what Mobile Electrician does so well, even in the free version of the app.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The paid version of the app features even more \u2013 every possible calculation you would need in your day-to-day electrical work is at your fingertips, like LC resonance, current density, unit conversions, fuse calculations, and much more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
One of the main benefits is that you don\u2019t have to stop working and trawl through paper reference manuals to find what you\u2019re looking for. Mobile Electrician packs it all into a simple, easy-to-use app, meaning you can spend less time researching and more time doing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
