fuse panel board labels - how do you solve the labeling problem

Hi, all!


This is my first post in this community. And I apologize if I involuntarily break his rules. 


I am a developer of an online service that makes it easy to create stickers for electrical panels. Examples of the results of the service are posted below

I have a question for the community, but how do you now solve the problem of marking your electrical panels? Perhaps you use word and excel, or write with a simple marker directly on the shield panel?


I do not know if it is possible to place a link to the service, so if you are interested, write to me and I will give a link. Thanks to all.

    Never mind the labels - it looks like there should be a market for modular blanks!

    there are modular blanks, for example, a schneider or a hager, but they are uncomfortable, they usually write with a pen.



    Sorry - I was going off at a tangent - nothing to do with labels. I noticed the gaps at the ends of the rows of circuit breakers - in the UK they would be filled by blanking plates or modular (MCB sized) blanks that clip onto the DIN rail - leaving gaps large enough to get a finger in would be considered a serious error here.


    Going back to the labels - I think your graphics would need an update for the UK - two dots within a circle looks nothing like a socket outlet to British eyes (our sockets are rectangular and have three rectangular pins). You might also have to consider other UK peculiarities like twin RCCB 'split load' layouts where some indication of which RCCB feeds which MCBs is usual (and it's never as simple as everything else on the same row).


    The other issue is that often you don't know until you're on site exactly what labels you'll need - and most electricians don't carry computers & A4 printers as part of their kit - hence the popularity of portable labelling machines or marker pens.
