What is the purpose of a circuit schedule in the handover pack?

• A. To list the circuits, protective devices, and their locations.
• B. To provide a warranty summary.
• C. To show building layout only.
• D. To record energy consumption.

Answer: (A)

A circuit schedule is a detailed listing of each circuit, the protective device that protects it, and where that circuit runs in the building. Its main purpose in a handover pack is to give a clear map of the electrical installation so anyone who works on or maintains the system can quickly identify which circuit is which, which device protects it (and its rating), and the location of that device and circuit path. This makes fault finding, safe isolation during maintenance, and any future modifications much easier and safer. It also supports regulatory compliance by documenting how the installation is protected and wired. It’s not about warranty information, building layout, or energy consumption, which are handled in other parts of the handover materials.
