What is a fuse box chart?
A fuse box chart lists every circuit in a fuse box or consumer unit. For each circuit it shows what it powers, such as the kitchen, the washing machine or the bedrooms, and which residual current device it sits behind. It is also called a circuit chart, a circuit schedule or simply the fuse box labels.
It earns its keep when something goes wrong. When a breaker or a residual current device trips, the chart shows straight away which rooms and appliances are behind it. And whoever works on the installation knows which circuit to switch off.
What goes on a fuse box chart?
This is on the chart you make with Fusebox.online, circuit by circuit, in the order of your fuse box.
The circuit number
Each circuit in the order of the board, such as 1.01 and 1.02, so you can find it in the fuse box.
What the circuit powers
The rooms, sockets and fixed appliances: the hob, the washing machine, the heat pump.
The residual current device
Which residual current device each circuit sits behind, so you know what goes off together.
Rating and phases
The rating of the breaker or fuse, such as 16 A, its curve and whether the circuit is single or three phase.
Who to call
The number to call in a power cut, and your electrician's contact details.
A QR code
To the overview online, which always shows the latest version, even when the printout in the cupboard is older.

-
02
Add the residual current devices
Add them as they sit in your board. Fusebox.online draws the fuse box for you.
-
03
Describe each circuit
Switch a circuit off, see what goes dark and write it down. Add the rating if you know it.
-
04
Print and stick
Print the chart as a PDF for inside the cupboard and stick the QR sticker on the door.

-
Printed neatly
A formatted PDF with every circuit grouped by residual current device, ready for the cupboard.

Always the latest version

Questions about fuse box charts
What people most want to know before they make one.
What is a fuse box chart?
A fuse box chart lists the circuits in a fuse box or consumer unit: for each circuit what it powers and which residual current device it sits behind. It is kept in or next to the fuse box, so that when something trips you see straight away which circuit it is. It is also called a circuit chart, a circuit schedule or the fuse box labels.
What should be on a fuse box chart?
For each circuit at least its number, what it powers and the residual current device it sits behind, numbered the same way as the fuse box itself. The rating of the breaker or fuse, such as 16 A, is usually there too. Fusebox.online adds the number of phases, the curve, the number to call in a power cut and a QR code to the current overview.
Is a fuse box chart required?
The rules differ from country to country. Wiring regulations generally ask for the circuits of a distribution board to be identifiable, and an electrician usually hands over an overview with a new or extended installation. Ask your electrician what applies where you live; a chart that is up to date helps either way.
Can I make a fuse box chart myself?
Yes. You do not need to open the fuse box: you switch off one circuit at a time, see what goes off and write it down. With Fusebox.online you do that on your phone, standing at the fuse box. Leave work on the installation itself, such as adding a circuit, to an electrician.
Can I make a fuse box chart in Excel or Word?
You can, with a template you fill in and print yourself. The catch is that such a list goes out of date as soon as something changes in the installation. With Fusebox.online the chart lives online, you print it as a PDF whenever you like, and the QR code on the door always points to the latest version.
What does a fuse box chart from Fusebox.online cost?
Nothing for homeowners: you describe up to three fuseboxes for free, for as long as you like, and print the chart and the QR stickers as often as you need. Electricians use a business account with their own logo on it and start with 14 days of Pro, free.
Should I update the chart when something changes?
Yes, or it stops being right: when a circuit is added, or an appliance moves to another circuit, an old chart points the wrong way. In Fusebox.online you update the overview and print it again; the QR code on the door stays the same and shows the new version at once.
Where do I put the fuse box chart?
In or next to the fuse box, so it is there when you need it. Most people stick it inside the cupboard door. With Fusebox.online you stick the QR code on the outside, so anyone can open the overview on their phone as well.
What is the difference between a fuse box chart and a wiring diagram?
A fuse box chart says for each circuit what it powers, in words anyone understands. A wiring diagram, such as a single-line diagram, draws how the installation is built and is meant for electricians. For the fuse box at home, the chart is what you need.
