No. A megger's output voltage is not high enough to test the insulation of a high-voltage transformer if, by 'high-voltage transformer ', you mean a distribution transformer or power transformer. Instead, a high-voltage test set or 'pressure tester' (e.g. a 'HiPot' tester) must be used, as these produce far higher voltages.
why need dielectric test for transformer
Short circuit test and open circuit test are widely used to test the efficiency of 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.
Hipot is the abbreviation for high potential. A Hipot test is used to verify electrical insulation on finished cables, electric motors transformers, wired assemblies, appliances, and printed circuit boards.
The open/short-circuit test on a transformer isn't 'needed'. It's only used if you want to find out the efficiency of a transformer.
With Hipod leakage current of any circuit (HT Distribution/ Transmission Lines) can be determine and with IR Test insulation resistance between two circuit or parts of machine is determined.

In order to ensure that an Electrical Safety Compliance Tester is safe for use, the product is passed through a rigorous gauntlet of testing. Among these tests are electrical safety tests which are designed to test the electrical integrity of the product itself. These tests include the ground bond (or continuity) test, dielectric withstand or high potential (hipot) test, insulation resistance test, and leakage current test. Each of these tests has unique parameters designed to pinpoint various potential problems with a device. For example, Table 1 outlines common hipot test settings from various NRTL standards.

Procedure for sumpners test is the single phase transformer. This is a back to back test.
A load test on a transformer is done to make sure it stays within its designed temperature range while on full load.
