One Doesn't See This Too Often....

.... a line diagram right next to a 60-year-old panel!

Guess it made sense to whoever drew it. :?

Made sense to me. But I guess you have to be there. When you're looking at it, the furnace and fireplace are directly behind you. It's a layout of the conduit runs.

 

[hbiss]

Ahh, conduit runs. Makes a bit more sense now.

Reminds me of what I did in a large house while roughing in. In the main part of the house, I wrote directional arrows and abbreviations inside the switch boxes for each of the NM cables with a Sharpie.

I really wish more people left some sort of notes, or even a trail of breadcrumbs, when they change a circuit.

Or even changed the labels on a panel when the loads change. (The breaker that says "main room lights"? The one that now feeds the outdoor sign since the main room was re-fed from a different sub? That one.)

Crazy talk, I know.

So you could find your way out of the house at the end of the day?

Follow the Yellow Wire Road.


I did it to identify each cable: FI = feed in, FO = feed out, 3W = travelers, LT = light, FN = fan, FL = fan/light, RC = recessed, HL = hall light, etc.

I used arrows to point in the physical direction where, for example, there were multiple FOs or 3Ws.
