Benefits of Custom-madeEletrical Panel Schedule
There are multiple benefits to designing panel board schedules. Some of them are listed as follows:

A load-schedule can provide a good estimation of the electrical load during peak or normal hours.
It enables the design to consider provisions regarding extra loads or it can advise the owner about the requirements of expansion.
During the peak hours, a load-schedule provides an opportunity to execute a scheme for power management to keep the load at par and reduce the instances of alternating between a high peak and very low periods of consumption.
The schedule can enable proper management and brings down the electricity cost even during peak hours and consume less energy.
The design enables the engineers to take care of future loads.
It also enables the engineers to choose the right size of conduits, conductors and control systems

Steps involved in preparing the panel board schedule
There are different steps involved in the preparation of panel board schedules. These steps are provided below:

Creation of a list of all loads (expected) within the facility or installation.
Specifying each of them whether they are process loads or non-process ones.
Acquiring the electrical properties for all loads including current, power factors, voltage, absorbed ratings, nominal ratings, efficiency and more.
Categorizing all equipment based on the location of the switchboard, load criticality, and load duty.
Evaluating the expected consumption for each load.
Assessing the design, operating and peak loads for all switchboards
Evaluating the design, operating and peak loads of overall installation.
