What we deliberately don't publish

The NEC ampacity, breaker, and conduit-fill tables that several of our reference pages are built on are absent here on purpose. NFPA holds copyright on the National Electrical Code, and packaging its tables as a redistributable dataset is a different act from citing them on a page. Read our NEC-derived reference pages here; get the tables themselves from NFPA.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Everything here is published under CC BY 4.0, which permits commercial use, redistribution, and modification. The one requirement is attribution — credit WattSimple and link back, using the citation line given with each dataset.
