Write on the Romex jacket with a sharpie. Another good one I have seen is
using a regular Dymo label, and then covering it with clear shrink tube.

I have just installed a generator for emergency power backup which requires
8 wirenut splices inside my breaker box (to bring the 8 protected circuits
over to a new transfer switch and breaker subpanel provided by the
generator manufacturer, Generac Guardian). To keep these 8 wires clearly
labeled for future identification, I have tagged each wire with its'
circuit with such names as "Furnace". "Refrigerator", "Sump Pump", etc.,
using adhesive-backed paper labels wrapped around each of the 8 wires.

I feel a bit uneasy about leaving paper labels inside my breaker box, and
wonder if there is a correct way to properly tag wires inside a 200 amp
breaker box which allow for distinct and easily readable marking but are
not in some way violating code or creating some type of fire hazard.

I very much appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.
