Electrical Installation Planner

How to use the interactive circuit planner — ID generation, floors, rooms, cabinets, and data export.

Electrical Installation Planner

The planner is available as a standalone tool: Open Electrical Planner →

The interactive planner helps you plan every circuit of your home electrical installation before construction begins. Below you'll find a guide on how the tool works.

How automatic IDs work

Every circuit receives a unique identifier in the format:

TYPE/FLOOR/NR

For example, OSW/0/05 means:

  • OSW — circuit type (Interior Lighting)
  • 0 — floor code (Ground floor)
  • 05 — circuit number within the room

The number is auto-assigned based on the number range configured for the room.

Floors

Default floors:

CodeName
0Ground floor
1First floor
ZExterior

You can add and remove floors in the Legend tab.

Rooms

Each room has an assigned number range, e.g. Living room = 0–4, Kitchen = 10–19. These numbers form the third part of the circuit ID.

When a range is exhausted (e.g. you add more than 10 circuits in one room), the planner will automatically assign the next available number above the range.

Default rooms can be freely edited in the Legend tab — add, remove, and adjust number ranges.

Cabinets / Distribution boards

In larger installations, you may have multiple distribution boards or rack cabinets. The planner allows you to:

  • Define a list of cabinets in LegendCabinets / Distribution boards
  • Assign each circuit to a specific cabinet via the Cabinet column
  • View statistics by cabinet in the Summary tab

By default, one cabinet is available: "Szafa 1".

Circuit types

Each circuit type has:

  • Abbreviation (e.g. OSW, GNW, PRW) — used in the ID
  • Default cable — auto-filled when selecting the type
  • Default I/O — input, output, or I/O
  • Color — for visual distinction

Example types:

AbbrNameDefault cable
OSWInterior Lighting3x1,5
GNWInterior Socket3x2,5
PRWInterior SwitchCat 5e
ROLRoller shutter5x1,5
LANLAN NetworkCat 6

Export & Import

  • CSV — export the circuit table for spreadsheets (; separator)
  • JSON — export/import the full planner state (circuits + legend)

The JSON format contains a complete backup: floors, rooms, cabinets, circuit types, cable types, and all circuits. Perfect for backups or transferring your configuration between devices.

Auto-save

Data is saved automatically in your browser's localStorage. It is never sent to any server.

Clearing browser data will erase your saved plan. Use Export JSON to create a backup.
