electric panel schedule?
(OP)
I need to make a panel schedule. I have no electric backround beside a chapter I studied from a physics class many years ago. Given the photo of the panel how do I make a schedule? This looks pretty straightfoward, I just want some advice..the schedule made has nothing to do with the panel picture, it is just an example layout i must use..

You need to know which loads in the building are attached to which breakers and what VA each needs at full load so you can fill out the outer columns. The the innards behind the front cover are pretty standard, though. Attached is a pic I made for a class I teach in basic AC and power monitoring.
Circuits are numbered odd down one side and even down the other. The usual convention for single-phase is the left incoming phase is L1 or A, the right hand one is L2 or B. The odd numbers alternate down the breaker plug-in postions: 1=A,3=B, 5=A, 7=B, and so on. The even numbers do the same, and the phase is the same as the odd breaker directly across: 2=A, 4=B, and so on. That way, a two-pole breaker always grabs both phases.
For three phases, it's just ABC instead of AB and the breaker poles go 1=A, 3=B, 5=C, on to the bottom. For consistency, A is generally on the left and C is on the right when you look at the incoming feeder.
