There is no power loss in open circuit test.
Actually there is iron loss also known as magnetic losses. These include hysteresis and eddy-current losses. This can be described as V1^2/Rc
Where V1 is the primary voltage and Rc is the resistance of the magnetic core.

Why us the power measured during the open circuit test considered to be approximately equal to the core loss?
During open circuit test on transformer, no load is connected across the secondary side. Hence, the total power drawn by the transformer is only to induce the voltage across the secondary, i.e., core loss AND negligible amount of primary copper loss. As the primary copper losses during open circuit are negligible, it is practice to attribute the open circuit power to core loss.
How do you carry open circuit test on power transformer?
A Linear power transformer coil? use an Ohm meter and check the resistance of the coils. No resistance is an open circuit. Also check for a cross circuit from one side of the transformer to the other.
Why short circuit test is done at high voltage side?
1)Short circuit test is performed at rated current. As the rated current on high voltage side is much less than low voltage side, so the rated high voltage side current is easily achieved compared to low voltage side. 2)Also because we cannot short circuit high voltage side, as, if we short circuit high voltage side, voltage of high voltage side essentially falls to zero and since VI=constant, so the high voltage side current will be very high and will burn the winding.
Short circuit test of transformer what gives?
Gives us Copper loss
Is core loss same as no load loss in transformer?
Yes, that is almost true, apart from a very small copper loss in the primary winding that carries the small magnetising current. The core loss (iron loss) depends on the applied voltage. This loss is measured by the open-circuit test, carried out at the working voltage.

Why does the open-circuit test essentially show only excitation losses and not in copper losses?
In an open circuit test full load current does not flow, hence you wont get copper loss.
Why low power factor wattmeter is used for open circuit test of transformer?
For open circuit test of transformer, the secondary is open circuit and the circuit impedance is largely inductive due to the core impedance having high L as compared to R. hence the power factor is reduced, thus , we use low power factor wattmeters.
What is the purpose of open circuit test and short circuit test of a transformer?
An open-circuit test is done with the transformer running at its rated voltage but with no load. This measures the power lost in the magnetic core. (IR Losses) A short-circuit test is done with the transformer running at its full rated current in all windings but at a low voltage. The secondary is shorted and the primary voltage is adjusted to give the rated current. This measures the power lost in the copper windings. (Copper losses)
Why in no load test transformer is connected on low voltage side?
A no-load test is done with the normal supply connected in the way the transformer is intended to be used. It is also known as an open-circuit test to distinguish it from a short-circuit test, and its purpose is to measure the power loss in the iron core of the transformer and the no-load current drawn from the supply.
What does reading of wattmeter indicate in case of open circuit test of transformer?
In case of open circuit test of transformers we measure iron losses and hence the power lost here is being measured by the wattmeter.
What are the purposes of performing no load test for the transformer?
These two tests are performed on a transformer to determine (i) equivalent circuit of transformer(ii)voltage regulation of transformer(iii) efficiency of transformer. The power required for theseOpen Circuit test and Short Circuit test on transformeris equal to the power loss occurring in the transformer.
How will be conduct test on transformer?
Short circuit test and open circuit test are widely used to test the efficiency of the transformer.
What are the types of power transformer test?
open circuit & short circuit test, insulation resistance test, turns ratio, efficiency, if it is oil cooled then breakdown voltage of oil, voltage regulation and definitely visual inpection...
Why rated current should flow in the secondary for short circuit?
The short-circuit test runs the rated current through the windings of the transformer to measure the copper-loss, or power lost in the winding resistances. Because the transformer is run at low voltage for this test, there is very little additional power loss in the iron core of the transformer.
How do you carry open circuit test on power transformer?
A Linear power transformer coil? use an Ohm meter and check the resistance of the coils. No resistance is an open circuit. Also check for a cross circuit from one side of the transformer to the other.
What instrument would you use to test for an open circuit?
The general answer is that a continuity tester is used to check for an open circuit.
