Assigning Circuit Names

Circuit names are displayed in panel schedules using the assigned circuit numbers and a naming convention.

The By Phase option works in conjunction with the 3 Electrical Settings for Circuit Naming By Phase. Any changes to these settings are reflected in the circuit naming when By Phase is selected. For example, the labels A, B, and C can be changed to R, S, and T.

Circuit naming by phase

Circuit Naming By Phase is typically used with 1-column branch panels and switchboards.

Note: Circuit names are displayed in panel schedules, regular schedules, and circuit properties.
