LOSSES

Maximum acceptable (without any positive tolerance) no load loss (Iron Loss )at rated voltage and at rated frequency at 75 deg C in KW
Maximum acceptable (without any positive tolerance) load loss including cooler loss because of power consumption by the cooler fans ,motor pump sets etc at rated current and at rated frequency at 75 deg C in KW
Maximum acceptable (without any positive tolerance) Auxiliary Loss in KW

Please get a copy of IS or IEC or IEEE Standards on Transformer Specifications and religiously go thro it. You will, then be able to specify a transformer correctly.

IEC 60076 series is quite helpful. The J&P transformer handbook also provides good background
