anti oxidant is recommended, its use shall be subject to the Employer's approval.

12. Transformer Losses

The Contractor shall state the guaranteed losses. No positive tolerance is

allowable on the guaranteed values. Transformers supplied with losses exceeding
the guaranteed values will be rejected.
