Panel Directory and Circuit Label Templates

Fill out a panel circuit directory, export an editable CSV, and print a directory or matching circuit labels from the same verified descriptions.

Last updated:

Create a directory or labels

Enter the panel identifier and the actual purpose of each numbered position. Print a circuit directory, generate matching cut-out labels, or export the same information as a CSV. Add optional equipment/load tags to produce equipment labels that retain the supplying panel and circuit. Blank entries stay blank; they are not automatically called spare.

Copy the position numbers from the panel. This is a sequential list, not a bus layout. Reducing the position count hides later entries from print/export; their text returns if you increase the count.

Optional equipment tags for labels

Enter an existing equipment or load identifier where a label should name the equipment as well as its supplying circuit.

Circuit labels

Generic cut-out labels; check fit against the actual label stock.

Labels are created only for descriptions or equipment tags you enter. Blank positions are not classified as spare or unused.

Editable circuit and description columns with blank panel, location, and supply fields. Remove unused rows to match your panel.

Write useful descriptions

A useful description identifies the load and a durable location: for example, “Kitchen north-wall counter receptacles” rather than “plugs,” or “West stair lighting” rather than a current tenant’s name. Use the terminology and room identifiers on the project drawings.

  • Confirm the panel’s own position numbering before copying entries. A directory is not a drawing of bus connections or phase positions.
  • For a multi-pole device, identify all positions and use consistent descriptions. Do not assume adjacent numbers prove which poles belong together.
  • Distinguish a verified spare device from an empty position and an unidentified circuit. Record an unresolved identification as such.
  • Include the source or upstream identifier where it helps distinguish panels with similar names. Check the actual equipment marking.

OSHA 1910.303(f) addresses durable identification of disconnecting means and circuits. This editor only arranges the information you supply; it cannot verify circuit tracing or the accuracy of an existing directory.

Print and retain a copy

  1. Compare the directory against the verified circuit record and actual equipment.
  2. Choose the directory or label print action. Select “Save as PDF” in your browser for a digital copy.
  3. Check paper size, margins, and scale in print preview. Labels are generic cut-outs, not a match for a named adhesive stock.
  4. Retain the filled CSV if you need an editable record. Export before leaving the page: entries stay only in the current page session.

Fit and attachment depend on the panel and its instructions. Do not cover equipment ratings, warnings, or required manufacturer markings. These circuit labels do not replace warning labels or an engineered arc-flash label.

For task records, use the job card and handover template. To decode device markings, see control terminal markings.
