I find the existing software for the calculation of Electrical Installation difficult and long to use. Sometimes, I need to make a simple calculation or verification and I do not need to create a complete network to do it
Recently I have discovered some small calculators, some of them are too much simplified, but I find the idea good. There is for example… (more…)
