These programs are in the form of Web Widgets which execute within a web browser. They are coded in HTML, CSS and javascript.
In many cases the files may also be downloaded for local use in a web browser. This may require modification of the browser's security settings.
Information about most widgets can be obtained by clicking on the HELP buttons or on the blue help balloons.
Many of the simple calculators require the user to enter data and then press the RETURN or ENTER key.
This is a special purpose calculator which performs simple 3-phase alternating
current calculations.
Given three of the four quantities voltage, current, power factor and power, the Widget
calculates the value of the fourth.
Two formulae are used, one for line voltages and currents, the other for phase voltages
and currents.

Attenuator is a special purpose calculator for the design of passive resistive attenuators
and impedance matching circuits.
The Widget can assist in the design of PI-network, T-network, BT-network, B-network
and L-network attenuators and impedance matching circuits.
It can perform single calculations and (in symmetric cases) generate tables for later use.

Sunrise Calculator computes and displays the times of sunrise and sunset, given a
latitude, a longitude and a date.
The calculator can make allowances for altitudes of up to 15,240 metres (50,000 feet). The
altitude compensation calculation, performed by the calculator, is not part of the published
algorithm, on which the main calculation is based, and should be treated with caution.
This version also computes and displays the times of moonrise and moonset.

This is a special purpose calculator which performs simple wiring calculations for copper wires used in low voltage circuits.
Given three of the four quantities circuit length, current, wire cross section and voltage drop, the Widget calculates the value of the
fourth.
WARNING: The calculator was designed to calculate the voltage drop in low voltage (12/24 volt) marine circuits where the voltage drop
due to long wire circuits is more often a problem than the current carrying capacity of the wires.
No attempt has been made to ensure that the results of any of the calculations conform to current electrical codes,
such as the NEC or IEC codes. Users must check these and other safety matters for themselves.
The user can choose to work in SI units or USA units.
