Copper losses are energy losses from the windings, due to the currents passing through them. During an open-circuit test, there is no secondary current (so no secondary copper losses) and the primary current is very low (so the primary copper losses are minimum).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Because the magnetising current is very small, so the primary losses are insignificant, while there is no secondary current, so there are no secondary losses.

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

Oh, dude, the open-circuit test is like when you're checking out a car but not actually driving it - you're just seeing how it revs up without any load. So, it's all about measuring the excitation losses because there's no current flowing through the windings to cause copper losses. It's like checking out a car's engine without actually taking it for a spin - you're just seeing how it purrs without any real work.

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.
In the open circuit test, the voltage applied to the transformer is at its rated value with no load (open terminals), resulting in minimal current flowing through the windings. As a result, the copper losses (ohmic losses) in the windings are negligible since the current is minimal. The main power loss in this test is from core losses due to hysteresis and eddy currents in the core material, which are much larger than the ohmic losses when the transformer is under load.
Open circuit means the circuit is not continuous . A short circuit is continuous but has a fault connecting between either live to neutral or earth .As result of this we saw that this answer is unsufficent to explain short and open circuit on the other hand you can use this answer also like i did:)
