The Home Electrical Panel Schedule or Panel Index of Electric Circuits
- With this question from Byron, the electrical panels schedule that the planning department is requesting is a listing of all the electrical circuits that will be installed for your home.
- This list is based on the actual circuits that are planned for your home based upon the size of your home and the relevant electrical codes for the various areas and electrical devices that will be installed into your home.
- The information that will be derived from this electrical panel schedule will justify the correct size of the main electrical service.
- This information will also be required by your local electrical utility company.
