Has anyone found any good apps for electrical work? I'm sure there are only a handful of good ones but I thought Id see incase I didn't find them.

I don't really have a need for them at work (I'm doing Residential for summer before school, and most of the ones Ive found are more for commercial) but I do like using Platt's (I think they are around most of the west coast) and , of course, Electrician Talk's.

I just got an iPhone a couple days ago and I'm wondering the same thing. There's a bunch of electrical apps but I can't decide which one to try. I'd prefer something with controls and instrumentation and motor information on it, plus the normal NEC calculations and stuff.

The Platt one is pretty cool, I've been poking around with it for a few days now.

The best ones on my iPhone are

ibend pipe
Load calc
Electrical pro
Boxfill pro
Elec ref

There are others but I like these the best

Make sure you have a PDF reader so you can use your .pdf version of the NEC you have on your phone.
