Panel Wiring Best Practices

One crucial aspect of electrical construction is panel wiring. Properly pulling in conductors and making panel connections is not just about functionality; it’s also about safety and presenting a positive image to clients. Here are key best practices to ensure a tidy and hazard-free work environment:

  1. Cutting off Excess Tails
    • When pulling in panels with conductors, it’s common to have excess tails.
    • Cutting off these tails is not just a matter of aesthetics; it’s a safety concern.
    • Excess wiring left on the ground can create a significant trip hazard for anyone working in the area.
  2. Tidiness Reflects Professionalism
    • The way you manage excess wiring reflects not only on you but also on the contractor and the project as a whole.
    • A tidy workspace communicates professionalism and attention to detail.
    • It sends a positive message to both the owner and the contractor that safety and quality are top priorities.
  3. Safety First
    • A messy workspace not only hampers efficiency but can lead to accidents and injuries.
    • Tripping hazards are preventable with a commitment to keeping work areas clean and organized.
    • Prioritize safety by promptly cutting off excess tails and disposing of them properly.
  4. Client Impressions
    • Clients often gauge the level of care and commitment based on the appearance of the work site.
    • A neat and organized panel wiring setup conveys a sense of professionalism and competence.
    • Impress your clients with a clean and hazard-free environment, reinforcing their confidence in your abilities.

So when you’re pulling in panels with your conductors and making them up, you’ll cut off the tails, the excess, and that lays on the ground. It causes a big trip hazard if it’s tidy. That’s a reflection on you, on the contractor. If it’s a mess, then that also is a message sent to the owner and the contractor that maybe they don’t care quite as much as they should.
