Hello,

I've been in this industry since 1996. Currently I do not twist wires for a living anymore, I design residential remodels and additions as well as full set of construction documents for municipal plan reviews and permits.

In all the years I did do electrical work, I have NEVER seen a panel box like this *(see pic). While the spaces are marked as to what they control, I have absolutely no idea on how to show circuit numbers on the panel schedule I have to include on the construction documents. I have scoured the internet and can not find any information other than they are still sold.

Can anyone help me on how to number circuits on this? There are full size DP breakers, full size single pole breakers, and the thin breakers.

Thanks in advance for any and all clarification.Subject.png
 
I'd use letters, with an exponent(s). The problem is you'll have to go find some ASCII character charts.
Most laptop keyboards can't use any additional ASCII characters. To say you can't employ the use of ALT or CTRL which will
bring out engaging desired characters. So "A"(1) ((as exponent)) "A"(2), B1, B2. C would be your 5th breaker, shown.
One holds down the ALT or CRTL key and use the ASCII chart number.

ASCII is embedded in all software. Finding a ASCII to work inside your usual "write/word" or even with your keyboard is the trick.
 
Forget exponents, you have to program them to get them, I'd use A1 A2, B1 B2, C...
 
Full size breakers1,2,3
Half size 1A, 1B
Use a number/letter from wire marker book on each breaker, or use labeler for breaker #
I like to numbers on breakers when panel trim is removed
 
The only full-size breaker I see is the GFI.

Why not one digit per pole?
1 - N/A
2/3 - A/C
4/5 - Dryer
6 - Golf cart
7 - Washer
8 - Kit rec
9 - Micro
10 - Kit rec
11 - Disp
12 - D/R
13 - HVL (?)
14/15 - Range
16 - Gen lit
17 - Gen lit
18 - Gen lit
19 - Gen lit
20 - Furnace
21/22 - GFI
23 - Vacuum
24 on - N/A
 
I create a computer-generated Electrical Panel Schedule with a small plot plan to help locate the circuits. Then attach them to the panel trim inside a zip lock bag.
