_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

If the load losses (plus auxiliary power losses) of a power transformer exceed the value
guaranteed, an amount per kW for each full kW in excess of the guaranteed value will be
deducted from the Contract Price.
Tenders will be assessed using the following formulae: -
Total cost = P + 11.65 (164.9 fe+30.5 Cu) US$
Where
P = tender price of transformers.
Fe = no load loss expressed in kilowatts as shown in the schedule of particulars.
Cu= Full load loss expressed in Kilowatts as shown in the schedule of particulars.
It is thereby understood that values of 0.5kW and above will be rounded up to the next full
kW.
