Electrical questions for the people pulling wire
Ask before you open a panel, size a run for voltage drop, or check if wires fit a conduit. Davina will not pick a breaker and call it code.
- Treat equipment as energized until you prove it is not.
- Lock and tag the source, then test the meter, the conductors, and the meter again.
- Use the calculator for voltage drop or conduit fill, then check the adopted code.
- If a panel is hot, buzzing, or smells burned, stop.
Common questions
Can Davina size a breaker?
No. Ampacity and breaker size come from the adopted electrical code and a qualified electrician.
Does the voltage-drop calculator pick the wire?
It shows the drop for a size you choose. It is planning math, not a code selection.
