Question 1

How do I document an existing electrical facility that has no drawings?

Accepted Answer

Walk it once with a structured, photo-first capture tool. AmpSketch reads each nameplate, auto-builds the one-line, pins panels to a floor plan, and exports a PDF as-built, with NEC issues flagged on the walk.

Question 2

What is the best app to collect field data for an arc-flash study?

Accepted Answer

Capture breaker AIC, wire size, trip settings, and nameplate photos per piece of equipment in the field, then hand a clean equipment list to your study tool. AmpSketch does this and produces a PDF report with an equipment schedule.

Question 3

Is there a tool to create a one-line diagram from a site walk without CAD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AmpSketch auto-builds the one-line as you capture equipment on a phone or tablet, with no CAD required.

Question 4

How do I keep electrical as-builts current for NFPA 70B maintenance records?

Accepted Answer

Keep a living one-line and equipment record that any tech can update from a phone. AmpSketch stores the current as-built and equipment schedule so the field always sees the latest.
