Voltage drop labeling best practices?

[cmoore1991]

Hi All,

Not sure if this is even done, but I was thinking it would be a good idea to label the maximum ampacity that a given junction box can support.

Example: I have a 120V control panel at the end of a 200' run that can draw max 5A due to voltage drop. Current connected equipment is below this threshold but should I label this for the next guy? and/or put a 5A breaker in the panel as a fail safe?

Let the next guy figure it out.

I agree with ptonsparky don't worry about it, no label needed.
