Breaker directory + vertical labels

One editable circuit list powers both the directory insert and the left and right label strips. Set their dimensions, breaker count, and numbering below. Category colors appear in a narrow side band, with black text on white.

Print with scale 100%, headers/footers off, and background graphics on. Choose Color (not Grayscale) and Normal or Best quality; draft or ink-saving modes can make the category bands faint. Print all packs the directory and strip pieces onto letter pages at actual size, adding pages when needed. Oversize directories use a separate custom-size page. Cut along the faint dashed outlines and join numbered pieces for each side. The light internal lines mark breaker positions. Test breaker-row alignment before cutting.

Panel size and numbering

Dimensions are in inches. Strip length is the full length of each side; row spacing is calculated from the breaker count. Reducing the count hides extra circuits without deleting their names.

Print style

Choose a look for the directory and strips. Category colors, labels, band width, and cut guides carry across all styles.

Categories and colors

Rename any category, change its color, or add as many new categories as you need. The printable key and all circuit dropdowns update automatically. Remove a category only if it's not assigned to a circuit.

Colors touching

Each square puts its row color above its column color, with no gap. The diagonal shows each color on its own. Change a color above and compare the pairs here.

Circuit names and categories

Each breaker can have one, two, or three categories. Category colors share a narrow side band beside each label. Multiple categories appear as separate sections within the band. Empty categories are set to None.

Short labels for the long strips

These labels only change the strips. Press Enter to choose line breaks; leave a label empty to print it blank. “Full name” uses the directory name again. Use “Join next” for a two-position breaker. Existing pairs merge only when adjacent on the same side in the selected numbering order.
