Generator labels and marking of the panel
Fill in the list of modules, configure rails and print labels for MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs. No registration, exact DIN size 18mm.
Label settings
Print scale β 100%. Self-adhesive A4 paper recommended.
How to create electrical panel labeling: 4 steps
- Add rails. Press Β«+ Add railΒ» for each row of DIN rail in the panel. Each rail is a separate strip on the sheet.
- Fill in the modules. For each MCB, RCD or RCBO, specify the line name (e.g., Β«Kitchen lightingΒ»), device type, rating and phase.
- Customize the appearance. Enable or disable display of type, rating, curve and phase color.
- Print. Press Β«Print labelsΒ». In the printer dialog, select scale 100% β not Β«fit to pageΒ». Use self-adhesive A4 paper.
How to make labels for MCBs in the panel?
Proper marking of modules in the electrical panel is a mandatory requirement of IEC 60364. Labels allow quick identification of the required line during a fault and simplify maintenance.
Standard width of one DIN module is 18mm. A 1P MCB occupies 18mm, 2P β 36mm, 3P β 54mm. The generator automatically calculates the width of each label based on the number of poles.
Phase colors comply with IEC and IEC 60446: L1 β red, L2 β blue, L3 β yellow/brown.
For printing, use self-adhesive A4 paper. Select 100% scale in printer settings (not «fit to page») β this guarantees an exact size of 18mm per module.
Standard label types for panel marking
Proper marking of modules is a requirement of IEC 60364 clause 3.1.6. Here is what is usually indicated on labels in an apartment or house panel:
| Device type | Abbreviation | What to write on the label | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miniature Circuit Breaker | MCB | Circuit name + rating + trip curve | Kitchen lighting Β· C16 |
| RCD (Residual Current Device) | RCD | Protection zone + rating + leakage current | Bathroom Β· 25A 30mA |
| RCBO | RCBO | Circuit name + rating + leakage current | Washing machine Β· C16 30mA |
| Isolator (Disconnector) | QS | Switching zone or "Mains input" | Mains Β· 2P |
| Contactor | KM | What it switches + coil voltage | Underfloor heating Β· 3P 230V |
| SPD (Surge Protector) | SPD | Protection level or "SPD" | SPD Β· Type 2 |
