In a factory it is often the start of the largest motor. In a data centre it is the redundancy concept. On a battery or solar connection it is the reactive power the grid code asks for.

Naming that constraint early saves more than any later optimisation, because it decides the rating and the rating decides nearly everything after it.

Applications

Transformers and power distribution for commercial buildingsDry type units and main switchboards, shaped by space and the fire strategy.

Data centre transformers and power equipment, from the grid connection to the rackFrom the grid connection to the rack, sized to the redundancy concept.

Power distribution for industrial facilitiesMotor starting, drives and replacements, where downtime has a price per hour.

Transformers and switchgear for solar, wind and battery storage connectionsStep up transformers and switchgear for solar, wind and battery sites, sized on apparent power.

Network equipment for utilities and infrastructureNetwork equipment to the adopting operator's standard, for independent network contractors.

What decides the rating, by application

Application	Typical chain	What usually decides the rating
Data centres	Grid, MV switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, cooling	The redundancy concept and the non redundant load
Industrial facilities	Grid, MV switchgear, transformer, LV board, process loads	Motor starting and harmonic loads, more often than the running load
Commercial buildings	Grid, substation, dry type transformer, main switchboard	Diversified building load and the fire strategy
Utilities and infrastructure	Network, ring main unit, transformer, LV distribution	The network operator's standard
Renewable energy connections	Inverters or converters, transformer, MV switchgear, grid	Apparent power, including the reactive power the grid code requires
