A voltage appears between the terminal points of the secondary winding
in the open circuit test, the high voltage winding is open circuited and the measurements are made on the low winding side i.e, the open circuit test is performed on the L.V side. This is because if the measurements are made on HV side then voltage applied must be large and the current would be unsuitably small, for which the high voltage sources may not be readily available and at the same time the instrument ranges required should be very high, Also the result obtained may not be accurate. NOTE: iron loss will be same, if measured from either of the winding. in short circuit test. the low voltage winding is short circuited and the measurements are made on the high voltage winding side i,e,. the sort circuit test is performed on H.V side. This is because if the test is performed on the L.V side, the current will be suitably large for which the instruments used should be of very high ranges. moreover instruments of such high ranges and the auto-transformer capable of handling such high currents may not be readily available.
no voltage will be induced on the secondary side of the motor as the windings will become saturated.
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.
when the field winding of a running dc shunt motor suddenly breaks open the motor fails to run because in the motor the stationary winding is armature and rotatory is field winding

it is keep open so as to supply voltage to the loadAnswerThe secondary winding of a transformer is NOT necessarily kept open, unless you want to disconnect its load.
The secondary winding leakage inductance limits the current during a short. It seems that the current through the primary is limited by winding resistance and leakage resistance when the secondary is shorted.

Open circuit test on a transformer is usually performed to measure the IRON losses.Iron losses are produced due to eddy current and hysteresis losses. In open circuit test, the LV side, generaly the secondary winding, is kept open and the HV side, generaly the primary winding is fed with the rated voltage and frequency. The rated voltage is applied in order to setup normal flux in the transformer, which in return further produces the normal iron losses at rated voltage. the wattmeter connected at the primary side will show the power consumed due to iron losses. this calculation further utilized for determing the efficiency of transformer.
apply 3 phase voltage(415V) to the winding whose magnetising current is to be found and open circuit another winding. now measure current using tong tester or connecting an ammeter in series between supply and winding.
Power is voltage times current. If there is no current, then there is no power. Without power, no work can be done, so the motor will do nothing.In all probability, if this is happening to a motor, then there is an open circuit someplace, perhaps an open winding.

Low voltage is generally short circuited to facilitate measurements because it is more difficult to measure the quantities at high voltages.
10 % increase in voltage gives you 50 % increase in excitation current is called knee point voltage. To measure this first demagnetise the CT and apply voltage gradually from secondary keeping primary winding open circuited. while doing this above phenomeneo will be obsesrved.
When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
