So far, so good.

Whether you can have :
- nominal apparent installed power or
- apparent nominal installed power
I cannot say, but I would plump for the first as being representative of the Fr. word order.
Peer comment(s):

agree Richard Benham : As you point out, "apparent power" is a technical term[...] It is the position of "installed" that is the problem. For reasons of senseg, I'd prefer "nominal installed apparent power".//Scrub that, there could be a good reason for it.

agree Tony M : I'd go for 'rated' instead of 'nominal' here, and agree with your word order suggestion #1 // Could you edit the glossary entry into something meaningful, Alex, please?

disagree Richard Benham : "Effective" is about as wrong as you can get for "apparent". See also my remarks to Bourth about the position of "installed".
