Panel schedules

I use MIcrosoft, Word, Xcel or a new program I just bought FileMakerPro

We make a pencil list and submit it to the office and get the nicest little graphs back, gotta love those girls.

I have a file I can e-mail you. It has a bunch of templates you can print out.
I'm not sure of they are NEMA though.

Seems to me I read somewhere where the label area for one space must by at least 1/4" x 3", but I have never been able to find it since then.

But I just use Excel.

Word for a commercial panel
Pen (and white-out if necessary) for residential

Our secretary made a template in Excel. Since we can no longer get the stick on holders from Square D, we ended up with these huge momma's but as I get older, I do appreciate them more and more.

still trying to get her to teach me how to do it though. I am a computer whacker. that is a guy that tries to do everything but when I realize I can't and get frustrated, I whack my computer.:laughing:

I'm tryin' to see if this will work.

I found that I have a "briefcase" on one of my Yahoo! accounts.
I made a .zip file of those panel directories and uploaded it there.
Let me know if this works for you guys.

I just tried it and it seems good.

looks like they work great.

Juat in case there are some cheap bastards like myself out there. I do not have microsoft programs like excel and word. I use "open office" systems that can open the corresponding microsoft program files.

open office

Didn't work for me... :blink:

duct tape and a sharpie :tt2:

j/k calm down

Since you brought this back up.....



Why do they make the original panel schedules fit so damn TIGHT into the plastic sleeve? If I pull them out I have to struggle to get them back in.


Maybe it's just me??

engineers that have never been in the feild I suppose, another reason I like CH classic though, peel and stick right next to the breaker. although its commercial uses are limited by its aic rating . perfect for resi and light commercial...I digress...
home depot sells a label maker for $30 and it doesn't take that long to use it.

I was in my supply house the other day and 3M just came out with the very same product you guys are asking about.....Its a little notebook type deal, and it had every imaginable circuit listed......you just peel them off and place next to the correspondong breaker.........:thumbup:

You mean they actually have one that says "Billy's Room"?? :laughing:

I have a program called Electric 2002 sold by Robert J LaC apra from New York that makes panel schedules, figures voltage drop, does conductor sizing, conduit fill, box fill, transformer calculations and more. It is a great program. Check out www.electrc.net for a newer(more expensive) version.
