Hello,

I'm trying to print labels in SKM and the client wants it to say Fed from: "upstream bus" basically what panel or disconnect or what it is fed from. However, in all of my attempts, all I've been able to get to show is the protective device that is clearing the fault. I don't even necessarily need to print from within SKM I'm willing to print from one of the external software's, I just need some way (preferably not by hand) of capturing the upstream bus that is feeding the bus that the label is going on.

Thanks

This may or may not work for you but I name breakers PANELBOARD NAME LOAD SERVED.

For example, MDP feeds panels A, B, C and D. MDP also has a main breaker. My breaker names for panel MDP are therefore:

MDP MCB
MDP A
MDP B
MDP C
MDP D

That way the Fed From or Protected By field on the label will show the panel and breaker both, MDP A for example.
