ArcSnap Tracer

ArcSnap Tracer is a portable diagnostic app that continuously monitors electrical systems for intermittent arc faults, capturing events that traditional testers miss. It also uses non-contact signal injection to trace circuits in messy MCC panels without relying on ohming out. This eliminates repeat callbacks and saves hours of troubleshooting.

Key Features
  • Continuous monitoring and logging of arc fault events over time
  • Non-contact circuit tracing via signal injection and detection
  • Visual mapping of circuit paths on a tablet or phone screen
  • Historical data playback to analyze fault patterns
Target Users: Commercial and industrial electricians who troubleshoot complex electrical panels, MCCs, and systems with intermittent faults.
Revenue Model: Freemium: basic tracing free; premium subscription ($29/month) for advanced arc fault capture and analytics.

QuickDisconnect Meter Tool
Electrician needs to disconnect a meter for ATS testing but the only method is unbolting, which is cumbersome and potentially unsafe.
Electrical3MediumElectrician
SnapVolt Probe Port
Electricians hate the new style of meter socket that requires removing the meter to check voltage, making routine electrical testing difficult and dangerous.
Electrical4HighElectrician
ArcSniffer Pro
Intermittent arc faults are difficult to diagnose because they fail to trigger during testing, leading to repeated callbacks and wasted time.
Electrical4HighElectrician
CircuitTrace Pro
Electricians need a reliable method to trace circuits in messy MCC panels when ohming out is not available.
Electrical3MediumElectrician
PanelPilot
Electrician finds hazardous, code-violating wiring in a panel that is difficult to diagnose and fix, wasting hours of billable time.
Electrical4HighElectrician
WireMap Pro
When doing electrical work in older buildings, existing wiring is unsafe and undocumented, making it extremely difficult and dangerous to add new fixtures or understand the circuit layout.
Electrical4HighElectrician
CircutTrace Pro
Electricians struggle to trace circuits in messy MCC sections or panels without the ability to ohm them out.
Electrical3MediumElectrician
Transformer Health Monitor
An electrical worker needs to diagnose an unusually hot and loud transformer but lacks a systematic way to determine the cause and appropriate action.
Electrical4HighElectrician
SafeTap Circuit Inspector
Electrician discovers bootlegged neutral in an existing outlet after starting work, requiring costly rework the client cannot afford.
Electrical3MediumElectrician
VoltageDrop Alert
Voltage drops cause relay chattering in electrical control systems, leading to equipment malfunction.
