How to Use Circuit Schedule Descriptions
- 1Pick the board type: Domestic Consumer Unit, Commercial Distribution Board, 3-Phase Distribution Board, Sub-Distribution Board, or Final Circuit Board.
- 2Describe the board and its circuits — what each way feeds, protective devices, cable types.
- 3Add the board location: 'Ground floor hall cupboard', 'Main Switchroom Level B1'.
- 4Generate the schedule.
- 5Verify every line against the as-built installation. The schedule notes say this explicitly, and it is the whole point: a wrong circuit description is a safety issue, not a paperwork one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does an accurate circuit schedule matter?
Because the next person to work on that board reads it to decide what to isolate. A circuit labelled 'lighting' that actually feeds a socket ring in another room is how someone ends up working on a live conductor they believed was dead.
Does it produce Zs values?
It notes maximum permissible values where relevant, and flags that actual values must be recorded on the test schedule. Measured values come from your instruments and nowhere else.
Does it separate RCD-protected and non-RCD circuits?
Yes, with a loading summary. Check the grouping against the actual board — RCD grouping affects which circuits are lost together on a trip, and getting it wrong on paper misleads whoever is fault-finding later.
Can I use it for a three-phase board?
Yes, and phase allocation is worth checking carefully. Balance across phases matters for loading, and a schedule recording the wrong phase for a circuit sends the next engineer to the wrong place.
Is this a substitute for labelling the board?
No. A schedule inside the board door and clear labelling on the ways are both required in practice, and the schedule is only as useful as its accuracy against what is physically there.
About Circuit Schedule Descriptions
The Circuit Schedule generator produces a formatted schedule for a board you describe: circuit descriptions, protective devices, RCD and non-RCD grouping, a loading summary and standard notes.
A circuit schedule is a safety document, not paperwork. The next person at that board — possibly years later, possibly in an emergency — reads it to decide what to isolate, and a description that does not match reality is how people end up working on conductors they believed were dead. That is why the generated notes end by saying descriptions must be verified against the as-built installation.
The RCD grouping and loading summary are worth checking closely. Grouping determines which circuits are lost together when a device trips, which matters both for the client and for whoever is fault-finding; on three-phase boards, phase allocation matters for balance and for sending the next engineer to the right place.
No value in the output is measured. Maximum permissible figures are noted where relevant, and actual test results come from your calibrated instruments onto the test schedule.
