I have a Graphics that ive been working on, but they have what they are printed to order, but i could change it to be all blank. Tho i Think im about 1mm out tho and over a longer print you would notice.

Ive got a Coloured Lazer printer with A4 Stickers that i can print on.
Red for Main Switch
2-3 shades of Green for RCDs

Just make an Excel sheet, with cells the width of an MCB, and print onto A4 label sheet using a laser.
I have a colour laser, and tend to lightly shade the cells according to usage.

WELL thats a LOT EASIER way to do it.. wonder why I BOTHED using MS PAINT NOW :banghead:

What sort of size do you use for the Cells

 

[davesparks]

Standard MCBs are 18mm wide, higher current MCBs are 27mm wide.

I've got a label printer which let's you set spacings specifically for this type of labels

i have a basic brother label printer picked up in charity shop, does durable labels, write anything and stick it on vertically. does the job.

My Excel labels use a column width of 7.86, but I also have a tiny column between the label cells of 0.25 column width. Actually I think they are very fractionally wide, I keep meaning to see if I can adjust them every so slightly, but never get round to it.

On the subject of labels, I always put as much info as possible, it's annoying how many CU are labelled up just 'sockets' or 'lights' when there are multiple circuits of each variety.

I just stick big numbers on the board and fit a laminated printed circuit list next to the board

Yep Dave, on a board change it does my head in when one cct supplies say the kitchen RFC and one random socket in hallway and one in a bedroom. Makes labeling a pita.

That's where those 'additional information' labels are very handy, you often have to write very small though, annoying too when there are sockets from two circuits in the same room. :smile5:
