Panel Schedule

A panel schedule is a table that lists every circuit in an electrical distribution panel — each breaker's size, the load it carries, and the equipment or area it serves. It is the reference that documents how a panel is organized.

Panel schedules appear on the electrical drawings and are required for permitting and inspection. They tie each circuit to its breaker rating, wire size, and connected load, so an electrician knows exactly what feeds what.

When estimating electrical work, the panel schedules tell you how many circuits, breakers, and home runs a job carries, which drives device counts, wire lengths, and labor. Pulling those counts off the drawings as part of a takeoff is the kind of electrical scope work Quotr is built to speed up.

For electrical subcontractors, the panel schedule is a primary source for counting devices and sizing the material list. For estimators, it turns a set of one-line diagrams into quantities that can be priced.
