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.
No, transformers require AC, they do not work as a transformer when a DC voltage is applied. When AC is applied the ratio of Current to voltage remains the same. So a Transformer which steps up voltage, steps down current. Likewise a Voltage step down transformer steps up current. The only change in power out is losses due to the fact that the materials are real.
