In [[electrical and electronic engineering]], the '''power rating''' of a device is a guideline set by the manufacturer as a maximum [[Electric power|power]] to be used with that device. This limit is usually set somewhat lower than the level where the device will be damaged, to allow a margin of [[safety]].

In devices which primarily dissipate electric power or convert it into mechanical power, such as [[resistor]]s, [[electric motor]]s, and [[Loudspeaker|speaker]]s, the power rating given is usually the maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the device. The usual reason for this limit is [[heat]], although in certain [[electromechanical]] devices, particularly speakers, it is to prevent mechanical damage.  When heat is the limiting factor, the power rating is easily calculated. First, the amount of heat that can be safely dissipated by the device, <math>P_{D,max}</math>, must be calculated. This is related to the maximum safe operating [[temperature]], the ambient temperature or temperature range in which the device will be operated, and the method of [[Thermal management of electronic devices and systems|cooling]]. If <math>T_{D,max}</math> is the maximum safe [[operating temperature]] of the device, <math>T_{A}</math> is the ambient temperature, and <math>\theta_{DA}</math> is the total [[thermal resistance]] between the device and ambient, then the maximum heat dissipation is given by
:<math>P_{D,max} = \frac{T_{D,max} - T_{A}}{\theta_{DA}}</math>
If all power in a device is dissipated as heat, then this is also the power rating.  On the other hand, if most of the power is converted into mechanical power, then we need to know the efficiency, <math>\eta</math>. Then, the power rating is given by
:<math>P_{max} = \frac{P_{D,max}}{1 - \eta}</math>
Note that this is the real or [[effective power]] dissipated in the device.
 
In devices that primarily [[Power converter|convert]] between different forms of electric power, such as [[transformer]]s, or transport it from one location to another, such as [[transmission line]]s, the power rating almost always refers to the maximum power flow through the device, not dissipation within it. The usual reason for the limit is heat, and the maximum heat dissipation is calculated as above.
 
Power ratings are usually given in [[watt]]s for real power and [[volt-ampere]]s for apparent power, although for devices intended for use in large power systems, both may be given in a [[per-unit system]].  As the power rating depends on the method of cooling, different ratings may be specified for air cooling, water cooling, etc.
 
Exceeding the power rating of a device by more than the margin of safety set by the manufacturer usually does damage to the device by causing its operating temperature to exceed safe levels.  In [[semiconductor]]s, irreparable damage can occur very quickly.  Exceeding the power rating of most devices for a very short period of time is not harmful, although doing so regularly can sometimes cause cumulative damage.
 
Power ratings for electrical apparatus and transmission lines are a function of the duration of the proposed load and the ambient temperature; a transmission line or transformer, for example, can carry significantly more load in cold weather than in hot weather. Momentary overloads, causing high temperatures and deterioration of insulation, may be considered an acceptable trade-off in emergency situations. The power rating of switching devices varies depending on the circuit voltage as well as the current. In certain aerospace or military applications, a device may carry a much higher rating than would be accepted in devices intended to operate for long service life.
 
==Audio amplifiers==
[[Audio amplifier]] power ratings are typically established by driving the device under test to the onset of [[Clipping (audio)|clipping]], to a predetermined distortion level, variable per manufacturer or per product line. Driving an amplifier to 1% distortion levels will yield a higher rating than driving it to 0.01% distortion levels.<ref name=Quilter>Quilter, Patrick (2004). [http://soundandsong.com/Issue004/004_PowerAmpRatings.html "How to Compare Amplifier Power Ratings."] ''Sound and Song''. Retrieveded on March 18, 2010.</ref> Similarly, testing an amplifier at a single mid-range frequency, or testing just one channel of a two-channel amplifier, will yield a higher rating than if it is tested throughout its intended frequency range with both channels working. Manufacturers can use these methods to market amplifiers whose published maximum power output includes some amount of clipping in order to show higher numbers.<ref name=Quilter/> For instance, the [[Federal Trade Commission]] (FTC) established an amplifier rating system in which the device is tested with both channels driven throughout its advertised frequency range, at no more than its published distortion level. The [[Electronic Industries Association]] (EIA) rating system, however, determines amplifier power by measuring a single channel at 1,000&nbsp;Hz, with a 1% distortion level—1% clipping. Using the EIA method rates an amplifier 10 to 20% higher than the FTC method.<ref name=Quilter/>
 
== Maximum continuous rating (MCR) ==
'''Maximum continuous rating (MCR)''' is defined as the maximum output (MW) that a generating station {{Clarify|date=February 2009}} is capable of producing continuously under normal conditions over a year. Under ideal conditions, the actual output could be higher than the MCR.<ref>[http://www.ieso.ca/imoweb/marketdata/genDisclosure.asp IESO]</ref>
 
Within [[shipping]], ships usually operates at the [[nominal continuous rating]] (NCR) which is 85% of the 90% of MCR. The 90% MCR is usually the contractual output for which the propeller is designed. Thus, the usual output at which ships are operated is around 75% to 77% of MCR.<ref>Danish proposal to a design CO2 index for new ships to the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) from the [http://www.dma.dk/sw22623.asp Danish Maritime Authority]</ref>
 
== Measurement of nominal power and efficiency of photovoltaic modules==
{{Main|Watt peak}}
 
The nominal power of a photovoltaic module is determined by measuring current and voltage while varying resistance under defined illumination. The conditions are specified in standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and UL 1703; specifically the light intensity is  1000W/m<sup>2</sup>, with a spectrum similar to sunlight hitting the earth's surface at latitude 35°N in the summer ([[airmass]]&nbsp;1.5) and temperature of the cells at 25°C.  The power is measured while varying the resistive load on the module between open and closed circuit. The maximum power measured is the nominal power of the module in '''W'''. Colloquial this is also written as '''"W<sub>p</sub>"'''. Colloquial, as it is outside the standard to add suffixes to [[International System of Units|standardized units]]. The nominal power divided by the light power that falls on the module (area x 1000W/m<sup>2</sup>) is the''' efficiency'''.

=== Nominal power in radiostations output ===
'''Nominal power''' is a measurement of a [[mediumwave]] [[radio station]]'s output used in the [[United States]].  AM broadcasters are licensed by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] to operate at a specific [[Real versus nominal value|nominal]] [[power (physics)|power]], which may be (and usually is) different from the [[transmitter power output]].
 
* For [[omnidirectional antenna|non-directional]] stations, nominal power is normally equal to the [[Radio frequency|RF]] power presented to the antenna, as determined from the base [[electrical current|current]] and the antenna's nominal [[Electrical impedance|impedance]] at the [[carrier wave|carrier]] frequency.
* For [[directional antenna|directional]] stations, nominal power is normally equal to the RF power at the [[common point]] (the point at which the transmitter output branches off into separate [[phasing network]]s for each tower).
 
In both cases, nominal power excludes losses in transmission lines between the tower or [[phasor]] and the transmitter; however, it ''includes'' losses in a [[resistor network]] used to decrease the efficiency of the antenna system.
 
Nominal power is ultimately a historical artifact of the regulatory regime employed by the FCC prior to the 1980s.  In the old system, rather than allowing licensees to choose any power level which would meet the efficiency and [[Interference (communication)|interference]] standards for their class, stations were restricted to a small set of power levels: 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000, 25000, and 50000 [[watt]]s. A station whose maximum coverage would otherwise be available at 4500 watts (given a specific directional pattern and antenna system efficiency) had a choice of either living with 2500 watts, or reducing the antenna efficiency to a level which would allow for 5&nbsp;kW.  Newly constructed stations could fairly easily design an antenna system to meet the requirements, but stations on or moving to a shared tower with higher efficiency had a problem.  The resistor network exception was created to allow stations to reduce their antenna efficiency without having to modify the existing tower.
 
Rule changes in the 1980s did away with the fixed set of power choices, allowing stations to choose an appropriate power level for their antenna system ("dial-a-power"), so there should no longer be any need for the concept of nominal power.  However, stations still take advantage of the resistor exception in some cases, simply because they perceive the marketing advantage of higher power (or at least "round" power) to be worth the cost of the wasted energy.
