As it gets closer to your house it goes to a sub station where the voltage is lowered and then sent on its way. It finally arrives in your neighborhood and is sent to a transformer where the voltage is lowered to 220 volts. This is what comes into your house and goes to the circuit breaker box. The next section describes a bit of technical mumbo jumbo about sine waves and phase relationships.
1 Transformers âstep upâ or âstep downâ voltage according to the ratios of primary to secondary wire turns. 2  A transformer designed to increase voltage from primary to secondary is called a step-up transformer. A transformer designed to reduce voltage from primary to secondary is called a step-down transformer. 2  The transformation ratio of a transformer will be equal to the square root of its primary to secondary inductance (L) ratio.
