What Are Electrical Legend Nameplates?
Electrical legend nameplates are typically plastic or metal identification tags used to label electrical equipment and circuits. They are mounted on control panels, individual circuit breakers, transformers, distribution boards, outlets, and junction boxes.
The engraved panel labels display text with numbers and symbols that identify the specific function of each electric component (for example: “Lighting Circuit 4”).
Strong Construction
These nameplates are made from robust materials like aluminum that are strong enough for industrial and electrical environments. Typically they are rectangular or square-shaped and attach to the equipment with screws or permanent adhesive.
Displaying Information
The information they display includes voltage, amperage, wattage, circuit number, panel number, and warnings.
Engraved legend plates also use standard electrical symbols, component shapes, and colors to indicate what is labeled clearly. This simplifies identification for maintenance, operations, safety, inspections, troubleshooting, and upgrades.
Benefits of Electrical Legend Nameplates
There are distinct advantages to installing custom signage like electrical legend nameplates:
Improved Safety and Compliance
Nameplates are critical for identifying circuit breakers in an emergency. Suppose the power needs to be shut off immediately; properly tagged equipment allows staff to quickly cut power. Properly engraved electrical nameplates achieve compliance with electrical codes that require clear circuit identification.
Easier Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Electrical nameplates enable immediate identification of equipment, reducing maintenance and troubleshooting time. Maintenance procedures are more efficient with properly labeled electrical infrastructure.
Professional Appearance
Legend plates present a tidy, organized look for electrical panels, conduits, junction boxes, and outlets. Customers, employees, investors, and others will recognize your organization’s professionalism and commitment to safety.
Less Confusion
Without nameplates, electrical controls can be confusing and unclear. With nameplates, you will avoid mistakes like turning off the wrong circuit, which reduces frustration, downtime, and errors.
Better Organization
Electrical nameplates offer consistent labeling across all electrical components based on location or function. This type of organization makes any system significantly easier to operate and maintain.
Improved Operations
Legend plates enable your staff to quickly locate the switches and breakers they need to operate lighting, machinery, alarms, and other electrical equipment.
