Plastic sheet covers for labelling the panel

[brantmacga]

You can download a pdf directory card from pretty much every manufacturer. I’ve got them saved on my computer for SqD, Eaton, Ge etc…. Google something like “panel directory holder” and you’ll find the plastic sleeves to put them in. I’d print the directory on card stock and then use double sided tape to affix to the panel door.

I have seen so many panels with no directory's. That's always fun. I also understand that sometimes they get lost or wet, or were never there. The worst to me is the sharpy writing next to the breaker. You can never read it and its a pain to clean up.

I ve always been dumbfounded by the lack of labeling/ identification in the industry. Not just at panels but also at devices and j boxes. Of all the nitpicky and ridiculous codes we have, it seems like one of the most basic and fundamental things to know how to readily turn a circuit off.

Every junction box I install I write the panel and circuit number on the cover. Usually what it's for also- like office receptacles, dining room lighting, etc.

But they don’t want to pay for that—- homes should have a electrical plans for when issue arises… but over here we’re as built- so no one knows and wants to pay

Well no one wants to pay for arc faults, but they required those, and those don't even do Anything.

My bad you did state the stupid CMP making stupid rules so I get were you’re going…
Just wait for manufacturer to come out with some expensive set up for labeling and they’ll mandate it for safety and this CMP will get their kickbacks so it will happen eventually

I have been in way too many buildings that have multiple panels and transformers called something like HV1, TX1, and LV1.
Evidently MEP designers/engineers don't take the time to go past the default setting of their design software or to ask the customer what convention should be used.. This is very evident in facilities that undergo regular expansions.
