Labelling wires inside a circuit breaker box
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. Smarty |
