Salamot Hok

Electrician · 10+ years of installation work in Bangladesh and the wider South Asian region

Salamot Hok is a working electrician with more than ten years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial installation work across Bangladesh and the wider South Asian region. He is the technical reviewer for ElectroCalculators.

His review is the practical one. A calculator can be arithmetically perfect and still return an answer nobody would ever install. He checks that the default values are the ones people actually meet, that each worked example describes a real job rather than a tidy textbook one, that a warning fires at the point an installer would stop and think, and that the result is expressed in terms the trade uses — a cable size you can buy, a breaker that exists, a run length that fits inside a real building.

He is not the source of the code tables, and the site does not pretend otherwise. Every NEC, IEC and IPC figure used by a calculator is transcribed from the published standard, cited in that page’s sources, and pinned in place by unit tests asserted against worked examples in the standard itself. That machinery catches transcription errors. What it cannot catch is an answer that is correct on paper and wrong in a wall, and that is the job this review exists to do.

His field experience is in IEC-region installation practice, not United States NEC inspection. Where a page turns on a specific NEC article, the authority for it is NFPA 70 as cited in that page’s sources — not his signature. That boundary is written down here rather than blurred, because a reviewer credited with expertise he has not claimed is worth less than no reviewer at all.

If a calculator on this site gives you a result you would not accept on a job, that is a review failure and worth reporting. Corrections are answered before anything else in the inbox.

What he is qualified to judge

  • Electrical installation
  • Cable and conductor sizing
  • Voltage drop
  • Distribution boards and load calculation
  • Motor circuits and starters
  • Earthing and bonding
  • Electrical safety

Anything outside that list is not his call, and the site does not present it as such. Where a page rests on a standard, the standard is cited on the page and is the authority for it.

Where to find him

How the review works

Every calculator ships with a pure calculation function, its own test suite and a list of cited sources. The tests catch a mistyped constant or a misread table; the review catches the answer that passes every test and would still be wrong on site. Both have to be satisfied before a page is published, and the process is written out in full in the methodology and editorial policy.

Review dates are advanced only when a page has actually been re-read. A date that moves because the site wanted to look fresh is a lie told in small print, and it is the easiest trust signal in the world to fake — which is exactly why it is worth not faking.
