Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader

Just letting you know.

I have changed the mobile layout of the Maximum Demand Calculator. See the images below.

I also made a few improvements and fixed some defects.

Improvements

  • I added kW ratings. You now have A, Watt and kW.
  • I added 3-phase loads to Blocks of Living Units.
  • I improved the descriptions for the default loads when you open the calculator the first time.
  • I updated the example in the content below the calculator with more load groups and more detailed calculation notes.

Defects

  • I fixed the layout issues on Firefox and Safari on Mac.
  • I removed the rating field for laundry equipment in Blocks of Living Units. It is supposed to be a quantity only.

Updated mobile layout

Compact layout of load groups.

Load groups expand when you click on the load group, and you can edit the data.

​Click to try.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
