You can replay / listen now  at  [ElectricianLIVE](https://youtu.be/bTwg8eql6Ag?utm_campaign=Reaching%20Out%20with%20Podcasts%2C%20etc.&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-981T7nX5VcLCmuCYzcA-daquRCBxsIE5TWt5YiROwxQCljERcSEjjdY9yByJFspu2F4ZqU) or [Master the NEC.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTwg8eql6Ag&t=588s&utm_campaign=Reaching%20Out%20with%20Podcasts%2C%20etc.&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-981T7nX5VcLCmuCYzcA-daquRCBxsIE5TWt5YiROwxQCljERcSEjjdY9yByJFspu2F4ZqU) On the podcast, James answers the following questions:           What is* PowerCalc*?           How does *PowerCalc* comply with the NEC?           Tell me about how you put together *PowerCalc's* data base?           Tell me about *PowerCalc's* 1 Line Diagram...how is it generated? You will hear all the details on how *PowerCalc's*  database was written to provide fully populated NEC lookup tables, instantaneous updates for changes in your design and project, and its  automatic and simultaneously generated 1 Line Diagram.  **What's Next?** Past accomplishments are great, but *PowerCalc's* innovations are ongoing. On ElectricianLIVE, James will announce the launch of *PowerCalc's* new Industrial / Manufacturing Package. This adds even more "firsts" to *PowerCalc's* long list of innovations: design of Automatic Transfer Switches with Generators (ATSs); Motor Control Centers (MCCs); Doubled Ended Switchgears; and Unit Substations. Expected release date is late March, and we are excited to tell you all about it. And remember, we have a free demonstration  on the first Friday of each month.
