Voltbox: Electrician Toolbox

Voltbox is the field toolbox for electricians, apprentices, and serious DIYers — a
fast, offline set of calculators and references built by someone who's actually run
pipe and pulled wire. No sign-in, no clutter, no ads on your calculations. Just the
numbers you need, on the job, in your pocket.

WHAT'S INSIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚡ WIRE & BREAKER SIZING (new)
Enter a load in amps — or watts and voltage — and Voltbox returns the minimum
conductor, the standard breaker (NEC 240.6), the largest breaker that conductor may
legally carry, and the equipment ground from Table 250.122. A breaker-to-conductor
quick chart for 60 °C and 75 °C terminations and a common-circuits reference come
built in.

🔌 MULTIMETER GUIDE (new)
Learn to use your meter the right way, written around the Fluke meters most techs
actually carry — the 115, 116, 117 and 87V, plus the clamps. Safety and CAT ratings,
the live–dead–live check, input jacks, symbol legend, voltage, continuity and
resistance, ghost voltage and low-Z, and the mistakes that cost fuses. Advanced
sections cover current measurement, capacitance, diode, frequency, temperature,
microamp flame-rod testing, and a full field-procedure playbook.

📐 CONDUIT BENDING
90° stub, back-to-back, offset, three-bend saddle, four-bend saddle, and rolling
offset. Enter your numbers and get exactly where to mark and how far to bend — marks
shown as tape-measure fractions with the decimal underneath.

🧮 OHM'S LAW
Enter any two of volts, amps, ohms, or watts and Voltbox solves the other two, with
the formulas shown so you can check the work.

🧵 CONDUIT FILL
Add your conductors by type, size, and quantity, pick the conduit, and get the
smallest trade size that stays within NEC Chapter 9 fill percentages.

🎨 RESISTOR COLOR CODE
A 4, 5, or 6-band picker with a live-drawn resistor and computed value, tolerance,
and temperature coefficient.

📊 WIRE AMPACITY
NEC 310.16 copper and aluminum ampacities at 60/75/90 °C with the small-conductor
rules built in.

📉 VOLTAGE DROP
Single- and three-phase voltage drop in volts and percent, with a 3% pass/fail check.

📦 BOX FILL
NEC 314.16 box-fill volume from conductors, devices, clamps, and grounds.

🔋 POWER & MOTOR
kVA to volts to amps (single and three-phase), plus a horsepower–kilowatt converter.

🌎 GROUNDING
Equipment grounding conductor (250.122) and grounding electrode conductor (250.66)
sizing.

WHY VOLTBOX
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Works 100% offline — in the panel, the attic, the crawlspace, no signal needed.
• No account and no personal data collection. Your calculations never leave the phone.
• Clean, readable, one-handed layout that works with gloves on.
• Light and dark themes that follow your system setting.
• Built and maintained by a working-trade developer, not a content mill.

FREE & PRO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most of Voltbox is free, including Ohm's law, resistor codes, conduit fill, ampacity,
grounding, the everyday conduit bends, the Wire & Breaker sizer at standard
conditions, and the core of the Multimeter Guide.

Voltbox Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription. It unlocks the advanced conduit
bends, Voltage Drop, Box Fill, Power & Motor, the Wire & Breaker derating engine
(ambient temperature, raceway bundling, termination ratings), and the advanced half
of the Multimeter Guide — and it removes the single banner ad.

Voltbox is an estimating and reference aid. Always verify against the edition of the
National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) adopted in your jurisdiction, and follow your
employer's safe-work practices and NFPA 70E. Work de-energized whenever possible.
