    Hello.
    I am looking for some good examples of LV switchgear descriptions. I have little experience in this myself. All photos are welcome ;-)
    I mean, for example, how to describe that a given circuit is under a given RCD, or the letters F .., Q ... etc.? However, are they full sentences?
    Thanks in advance.

    In order to describe the switchgear well and legibly, feel the role of someone who sees it for the first time - he opens the door and sees the briefly described apparatus, then looks at the inside of the door and sees the diagram and the legend there.
    And he does not have to wonder "what the poet meant" ... ;)

    Hehe. Something for me, a specialist, is understandable and simple, the more so as I set the switchboard myself, it does not mean that it must be understandable for the user, but thanks for the hint.

    I always describe the devices in accordance with the documentation and I put the description of the switchgear as a schematic diagram on the door. No Word or Paint descriptions, it becomes illegible, the more so if one RCD operates several switches.

    Worse if there is no such. ? Besides, again ... For us electricians this is usually understandable, and for the user it is not.

    This is some kind of a as-built diagram for the client to do.

    Constant service. ? the client calls anyway. There is a schema, but not used.

    It is only appropriate to indicate the numbers of phones or fields, right?

    A constant is a relative concept in these times ;) if there is a schematic, you may need to put it in the right place and use it.

    I do not know what the problem is, I have not written anywhere that you do not have to.

    As illegible as legible - everything in Word :D :

    And a slightly larger caliber:

    There is a way for the width of the table columns to match the width of the text after printing. In Word, it is enough to set it to nine columns, then each column corresponds to the width of the eSa. Any height and number of lines.
    Printer, adhesive paper and scissors still needed ;)

    A very good way - mastered. I showed in post # 10

    Also large caliber -

    Well, I forgot to say that I meant the vertical layout - hence the difference with your example :D

    PS. Mine has two ten from what I remember ;)

    Unfortunately, I do not document my works, I have some old ones, sorry for the quality of the photos

    Recently, I have been using a printer and a schematic diagram as the description.

    And I am documenting. It comes in very handy.

    Sometimes I also do it so that I only number the devices in the switchgear, and stick a more detailed description on the door with a diagram in a T-shirt.

    Thanks for the tip on the printer ;-)

    and of course also for paper ;-)

    In my case in post # 19:
    - first photo - Dymo Rhino 5200 label printer
    - the second and third are self-adhesive paper, labels made in the XL Pro (Legrand) program, the minus is that you have to cut it manually, which takes some time.

Topic summary

The discussion focuses on effective methods for describing low voltage (LV) switchgear, particularly in relation to circuit descriptions, residual current devices (RCDs), and the use of letter codes such as F and Q. Participants emphasize the importance of clarity in documentation, suggesting that descriptions should be straightforward and understandable for users unfamiliar with the equipment. Visual aids, such as schematic diagrams and photographs, are recommended for better comprehension. Various methods for labeling and documenting switchgear are shared, including the use of printers and self-adhesive paper for creating clear labels. Examples of documentation practices and photos of switchgear setups are provided to illustrate effective communication of information.
