Transformer manufacture
"Para la cota del ancho de vía se admitirá una tolerancia de ± 5 mm"
This phrase is discussing tolerances of the machine upon delivery to the receiving party from the supplier. I know "ancho de vía" in the context of laying railway track, but not in transformer manufacturing. Are there any engineers around who might be able to help with this translation?

I might add, during inspections, I've seen a number of these type of installations.
