Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run InstElectric – Electricity, an app by Ángel Martínez, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
About the App
InstElectric – Electricity is a practical, no-nonsense tool for anyone who designs or maintains electrical installations. It helps you run the numbers quickly and confidently, whether you’re planning a new low-voltage circuit, checking cable sizes, or validating protection settings. Built by Ángel Martínez, this Productivity app keeps all the essentials in one place, so you can focus on good engineering decisions instead of hunting through spreadsheets. Prefer working on a bigger screen? It also runs smoothly on BlueStacks.
App Features
- Complete circuit sizing: Calculate low-voltage circuits end-to-end, choosing installation methods and sizing phase, neutral, and protective conductors with clear criteria.
- Protection coordination: Work with breakers up to In = 4000 A (with Ir setting) and fuses up to In = 1600 A (gG), including up to 12 parallel conductors per phase and sizes up to 630 mm².
- Voltage drop and ampacity checks: Verify cable admissible current, voltage drop limits, and overcurrent protection in one flow.
- Short-circuit estimate: Get a fast, simplified assessment of maximum short-circuit current and view protection curves.
- Load forecasting: Estimate building loads by section—dwellings, common services, commercial/office spaces, and garages, with or without EV charging.
- Power factor correction: Size capacitor banks, calculate reactive power, µF values, and apply C/K factors for automatic banks.
- Three-phase and single-phase tools: Handle balanced and unbalanced three-phase power, plus overvoltage scenarios from neutral loss, earth faults, and short circuits.
- Transformer insights: Check efficiency, and see secondary voltage changes based on tap (switch) position.
- Cable routing and containment: Size trays and conduits, review conduit characteristics by method, and convert wire sizes (mm² ↔ AWG) and thread types.
- Installation system selection: Match the system to the circuit, cable type, and placement with straightforward options.
- IP/IK references: Quickly look up enclosure protection ratings when choosing equipment.
- Custom calculation settings: Tune constants (voltages, conductivity, temperatures), protection libraries, reactance methods, conductor conductivity vs. temperature/current, grouping derating, and diversity/utilization factors—aligned with IEC, REBT (sp), Technical Application Guide, and (UE) 2016/364.
BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
