Tools and Hardware Reviews of Calculated Industries 5065 ElectriCalc Pro Electrical Code Calculator
Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is very easy to use, a great product. I highly recommend this to any electrician or student electrician. The fact that the formulas are pre-loaded for calculations makes it such a perfect tool.Customer Review: Just about a must have....
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are an electrician working on your own this tool is a must have. Even if you are part of a larger company and have others do to the planning it's still a great tool to have. You can pretty much open it up and use it instantly because most of the major calculations are quite simple to do and a big plus is the ability to update it to the current code. Even some of the more advanced features are relatively easy. The intructions are quite clear and walk you through practice calculations for each feature. Also, the keys are all clearly labled per each function. The only negative is that you can't bring it to a code examination. A great tool for a working electrician or maintenance person.Customer Review: Not as user friendly as it should be
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a niche tool that is rather expensive and could use a lot of improvement. It does do what is needed, but it will lead you to wrong results if you are not careful in how you enter the data. This is especially true for grounding conductor size, power factor and conduit size. Calculated industries is sticking to an out-dated format just to make their product backward compatible and sell upgrades to their older units. It needs a better display, buttons just below the display that change function with notes in the display for the function, multiple input lines in the display. This has all been done by other companies like HP and Ti. If you use it a lot and know its problems, it can be a time saver. If you use it occasionally it can be a lot faster to use a plain calculator or a spreadsheet and look up what you need in the NEC.Customer Review: Ripped off
Summary: 2 Stars
It doesnt have any functions I use on a daily basis. It has OLD NEC code...why? Why would I want to calculate something that isnt allowed any more? I havent used this even for power factor, which is more difficult to calculate than on my $12 Texas Instruments TI30X calculator...cosine angle theta = pF 4 keystrokes on my TICustomer Review: The correct tool for the job.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are an electrician and you need to quickly calculate loads, voltage drops, conduit/raceway sizes and any other electrical calculations, this calculator is a great tool. It is currently updated to the 2008 NEC. When the NEC does a change/update, this calculator has the ability to be updated to always be current with the NEC. Instead of having to flip through tables in the NEC, you can use this calculator to quickly find your answers. It is a tool that I would recommend to any electrician.
