Ask BONBON
The solution is built for iOS, Android and web, so users can access the same reference data across devices.
About this tool
Ask BONBON consolidates essential electrical code resources into a single app, allowing field workers to search the National Electrical Code for specific article numbers, compute conductor size based on load, and confirm UL listings without leaving the job site. The solution is built for iOS, Android and web, so users can access the same reference data across devices.
Beyond static lookups, the product offers an interactive chat interface that accepts typed or spoken questions and returns concise answers. This conversational layer complements the calculator and verifier tools, giving users a flexible way to resolve code‑related queries while on the job.
What you can do
NEC article lookup
Enter a code question and the system searches the NEC, returning the exact article number that addresses the query, helping users locate the relevant regulation quickly.
Conductor ampacity calculator
Provide conductor size parameters and the tool computes the permissible ampacity, supporting accurate selection of wire gauges for safe installations.
UL product verification
Input a UL product identifier and the verifier checks its certification status, delivering a clear result that confirms compliance with safety standards.
Who is it for?
- An apprentice electrician needs to confirm the correct NEC article for grounding requirements while installing a new circuit.
- A contractor must determine the appropriate wire gauge for a high‑current feeder and uses the ampacity calculator to avoid over‑ or under‑sizing.
- An inspector receives a UL label on equipment and quickly verifies its authenticity through the code verifier before issuing a compliance report.
Before you choose
Confirm whether the app’s code database is kept up‑to‑date with the latest NEC edition and UL listings.
Determine if the voice‑enabled chat feature works reliably in noisy job‑site environments and across supported devices.
Frequently asked questions
How does Ask BONBON retrieve NEC article numbers for a given question?
When a user submits a code question, the system performs a search against the stored NEC text and returns the article number that best matches the query, allowing the user to reference the exact regulation.
What inputs are required for the conductor size calculator?
The calculator asks for parameters such as conductor material, insulation type, ambient temperature and load current; it then computes the ampacity based on NEC tables.
Can I use Ask BONBON on a desktop computer?
Yes, the product is available through a web interface in addition to native iOS and Android apps, so users can access its features from a browser on any computer.
