Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.

Why high voltage is kept open in open circuit and low voltage is shorted in short circuit test?
In Short circuit test High Voltage side is feeded with 2-5% of the High Voltage rating to circulate approximately full load current in low voltage winding by short circuiting it. Low voltage is generally short circuited to facilitate measurements because it is more difficult to measure the quantities at high voltages.
Why the iron losses absent in short circuit test?
Because a short-circuit test is done at very low voltage to check the transformer windings on their maximum current. The low voltage ensures that the magnetic flux in the transformer's iron core is very low so that the eddy-current losses, usually known as iron losses, are negligible.
Why is the current high when the voltage is low?
This is describes the condition at the location a short-circuit fault.
Why does a phase in secondary side in distribution transformer give low voltage?
transformer is busted; if input voltage is normal you have short circuit or open circuit somewhere
Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?
Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.
When does short circuit happen?
When a voltage is present between two points in a circuit (electrical outlet, battery, etc.) it normally flows through a load of some resistance to do some work. If instead a pure conductor (usually metal) connects the two points separated by a voltage, a short circuit results. Current through the short circuit is very high and usually results in fire or failure unless protected by a circuit breaker. In low-voltage, low-power electronics a short circuit might not be dangerous but is usually undesirable.
Material to make a short circuit?
You need a voltage source and a wire preferable with low resistance to connect across the voltage source.
What is the primary symptom of an open circuit?
The voltage reading across the short will be very low, and close to zero.
Why open circuit test is performed on low voltage side?
generally open circuit test is performed on the low voltage side.....not on high voltage side.... becuase on low voltage side, we can apply that low voltage very easily ( i.e with a less amount of source is required)... whereas on high voltage side, we need a large power source in order to apply full voltage... in short circuit test, we will test on high voltage side by keeping Low voltage side being short circuit.because high voltage side needs less current source than low voltage side....
What would cause a short periodic low hum to come from a circuit breaker?
A bad circuit breaker. Replace it.
Why does a low voltage circuit create more amperage than a high voltage circuit?
That depends on what you mean. If you mean why does a circuit which has a high voltage side and a low voltage side have a greater average current on the low voltage side, it is probably because of power conservation: P = IV. If this is not what you mean, you will have to be more specific!
Why is low voltage circuits separated from higher voltages?
avoid crosstalksafety, a short between them could cause hazardous voltages where none are expectedprotect low voltage equipment from damageetc.
