Also, there’s a Service Entrance Ground Size Requirements table and a Grounding conductor size calculator.

The app also comes with an Ohms Law calculator, a Sizing a Circuit Breaker calculator, a Voltage drop calculator and Audio/Video Cable pinouts for the following: Component, DisplayPort, DVI, Ethernet, Firewire, HDMI/Mini HDMI/Micro HDMI, LPT, PS/2, RCA, Serial port, S-video, USB 3.0/Mini USB/Micro USB, and VGA.

I actually wanted to try out the app for myself, but couldn’t because there was no free trial option available. And the app isn’t quite cheap at five bucks. However, if you know how successful the app has been on other platforms, then you probably know what you’re paying for. Follow the link from below to the link on the Windows Store.
