What Ugly's Electrical References Is Used For

Ugly's Electrical References appears to be a field reference and calculation app for electricians and other electrical professionals. Based on the metadata, it is designed to provide quick access to NEC-related reference material, wiring information, formulas, conversion tables, and practical calculation tools that can be useful during installation, troubleshooting, and code lookup tasks.

The app also seems built for jobsite use on a phone, with features like search, bookmarks, zoomable tables and images, and offline access. That makes it suitable for situations where a user may need to check ampacity, conduit fill, motor data, transformer values, or NEMA wiring configurations without depending on a constant internet connection. The permissions listed, such as storage access and network access, may support content loading, updates, and saving user-selected reference items. It also includes video tutorials and safety-related reference sections, which suggests it is meant as a practical companion for day-to-day electrical work rather than a general-purpose productivity app.

Common uses

  • Look up electrical reference data in the field
  • Calculate values such as voltage drop, ampacity, and Ohm’s law
  • Check conduit fill, conduit bending, and motor data
  • Review NEC-related tables and code change summaries
  • Use bookmarks and search to find commonly used reference screens
  • View zoomable diagrams, tables, and wiring configurations
  • Access offline reference material on a phone
