Why is it assumed that during open circuit all the losses are core losses?

Since this is an open circuit test, there is no load attached, thus all losses must be internal to the transformer.

Why core losses are negligible in short circuit test of transformer?
I am so sorry for your core losses
How do you reduce core losses?
There are various measures that can be taken to reduce core losses. Lamination of the transformer core is believed to reduce core losses significantly.
Why does the short-circuit test essentially show only PR losses and not excitation losses in a transfonner?
Because a short-circuit test is done at low voltage so there is very small power loss in the magnetic core. That is because there is very magnetic flux.
What is transformer open circuit test?
An open-circuit test measures a transformer's iron losses. With no current flowing in the secondary windings, and only a tiny 'magnetising' current flowing in the primary windings, there is no significant energy lost due to the resistance of the winding conductors. So a wattmeter attached to the primary of the transformer will not read any 'copper losses', only the 'iron losses' that occur in the core.
What happens when you stick a core into a coil inductor in an undriven circuit?
If the circuit is undriven, there is no power, so inserting a core does nothing. In general, however, inserting a core into an inductor increases its inductance. Depending on the circuit, that lowers the resonant frequency.

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.
Why rated current should flow in the secondary for short circuit test in transformer?
Open Circuit test is done to find out core losses of the transformers.which include Eddy Current Losses and Hysteresis Losses only, if during open circuit test secondary will have some load then I2R losses due to load current in secondary as well primary will be included in test results which is not desired while performing Open circuit test.
Why should we separate the core losses?
separation of core losses are necessary to determine core losses at diffrent frequency.........

Because a short-circuit test is done at low voltage so there is very small power loss in the magnetic core. That is because there is very magnetic flux.
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.
How do you reduce core losses in distribution transformer?
Reducing core losses is a design responsibility of the manufacturer. They do this by laminating the core (to reduce eddy-current losses) and carefully selecting the type of material used for the core (to reduce hysteresis losses). There's very little that you, as the user, can do about reducing core losses.
How is the core losses occur?
The core loses occur because of the stator and rortor.
Why open circuit test show only core losses?
With the secondary not supplying any load, there is no secondary current and the primary current will be a low-value magnetising current. So, the copper losses, (I2R) will be insignificant.
Why core losses are always fixed in transformer?
Core losses are losses in the magnetic system of the transformer, such as eddy currents in the core, hysteresis losses, etc. Because of this, the losses are constant, regardless of load, assuming voltage and frequency stay fixed.
What are core losses?
Iron losses are termed as core losses. There are mainly two losses - Copper loss and iron loss. Iron loss is no load loss.
