Whilst the situation regarding engineers may be improving in the UK these new graduates will be entering an industry where the critical path for distribution projects is dictated by the availability of cable jointers. The bigger skills shortage in my opinion is of craftsmen in trades...
I work for an industrial user in the UK rather than a distribution company and our standard transformer size is 1.5MVA. The main factor which determined this was the size and manageability of the LV connections rather than anything else. Is this approach common?

I suspect that 123MB is working in the UK. Technically there is no such thing as MV (as you understand it) here. Everything above 1000V is HV. Historically MV was used for our 415V 3Ph systems. This does cause confusion for some of our North American suppliers and in practice many...
In order to access parameters over and above the default ones available on Controlnet (or Devicenet/EthernetIP) you can set up Data Links in the Powerflex drive and map the required parameter into one of these. You will also need to update the Drive setup in Logix 5000 so that the expected input...

Your suspicion about expansion due to hot weather may be justified. We saw exactly the same thing on a number of boxes immediately after the very hot spell (for the UK) we experienced last summer. All of these boxes had been perfectly OK for the previous 20-30 years.
