What is a panel schedule and what information does it contain?

• A. A chart outside the panel listing color codes.
• B. A warranty document for the panel.
• C. A chart inside the panel door listing circuit numbers, loads, breakers, and locations.
• D. A list of spare breakers.

Answer: (C)

A panel schedule is a directory kept inside the panel door that enumerates each branch circuit. It lists each circuit number, a short description of the load it serves (for example, lighting in the living room or outlets in the kitchen), the breaker size protecting that circuit, and the circuit’s location in the panel (which breaker position it sits in). This chart provides a quick, at-a-glance reference so you can identify what each breaker controls, verify the appropriate breaker size for each circuit, and locate circuits quickly during servicing or troubleshooting. It’s documentation kept inside the panel for ease of use, not outside the panel, not a warranty document, and not a list of spare breakers.
