I need a electrical conversion program for ohms law, watts law, ect. I know how to do the math long hand, but sometimes I spent a lot of time doing all the calculations. Does anyone have/know of a freeware program or something that will help me cut the time? I have found one called convert, but it has no electrical conversions tables, mostly american to metric. Thanks, Scott. |

HERES'S ONE You can Google "Ohms Law Calculator" for a bunch more. |

Not free, but does everything you need and more. Electricalc Pro |

Watt's law? just sayin'. . . some other helpful tips: - never put the copper ground wire into the ground a long ways from where the power comes in - if you're ever standing near a downed power line, don't walk away. hop. (there is resistance in the earth, ie 3 feet away there is a difference in potential) - don't be the conductor - even when there is ESD sensitive stuff around, never wear heel straps when working on a hot electrical panel - if the switch is down and there are people around, it's probably down for a reason. ask before you push it up. - the stories about people peeing on the 3rd rail are all made up. - a 220V circuit does not need a neutral wire. fun with electricity . . . |
I'm cool with the electricity.   I've worked EHV for 10 years. The only difference is where you put the "." It's all bound by laws. I do EHV thermography now. I have to figure Transformer ratios, MVA, step rations, load, ect. As for the Algebra, I don't have time to work all the math long hand. I need to speed it up, that's all. Work smarter, not harder!
