Winding copper losses of a transformer can be measured in a short circuit test of a transformer. Impedance voltage is given to the primary and the secondary is often shortcircuited. (some times the reverse is done of this). Full load currents are made to flow in both primary and secondary circuits. This current flow heats up the 2 windings of the transformer. Power consumed at this time gives the transformer copper losses.

Why core losses are negligible in short circuit test of transformer?
I am so sorry for your core losses
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)
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 is a Winding Short Circuit?
When 2 turns of an inductor or transformer short together.
What effect does transformer has a very low impedance on short circuit current?
the short ckt curent will be very high.
What is the reason to use open circuit and short circuit methods to find Transformer losses?
The transformer can be tested on open and short circuit to find the iron losses and copper losses separately, which uses a fraction of the power than having to run the transformer on full-load.

Under short circuit test it is said the iron losses are almost zero why?
In a short-circuit test the normal load current is passed through the transformer with minimal voltage applied. This means that the magnetic flux density in the core is also minimal, so that the only losses are the resistive losses of the transformer windings.
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.
What are the approximation of open circuit and short circuit test of transformer?
A short-circuit test is done to determine the power lost in the resistance of the primary and secondary windings of the transformer. It is done at full load current but with only enough voltage to give the required current with the secondary short circuited. An open-circuit test is done at full load voltage but no current is taken from the secondary, and this enables the power lost in the magnetic core of the transformer to be measured. As well a power, the tests also allow the inductances to be measured as well as the resistances, in order ot characterise the transformer fully.

How do you find out no load and full load losses of Power Transformer?
By performing no load and short circuit tests. These are outlined in ANSII and IEEE literature.
What is the effect of transformer impedance on short circuit current?
Short circuit current will increase a lot.
What is principle of Current transformer?
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current 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 is the purpose of OC and SC tests on single phase transformer?
Open circuit and short circuit tests are performed to determine transformer characteristics. In the case of a single phase transformer, SC tests would be performed to determine the impedance. The open circuit test will give excitation information (% excitation at specific voltages, often 90%, 100% and 110%, and no load losses).
What is a Winding Short Circuit?
When 2 turns of an inductor or transformer short together.
