Distribution transformer
Both pole-mounted and pad-mounted transformers convert the overhead or underground distribution lines'' high primary voltage to the lower secondary or utilization voltage inside the building.

Typical transmission voltages include 115 kV, 138 kV, 230 kV, 345 kV, 500 kV, and 765 kV. Sub-transmission networks, used to transmit power over shorter distances, use 34 kV, 46 kV, or 69 kV.
Introduction to Power Distribution Systems
Primary distribution lines are “medium-voltage” circuits, normally thought of as 600 V to 35 kV. Close to end users, a distribution transformer takes the primary distribution voltage and steps it down to a low

VOLTAGE REGULATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION GRID
If the power factor is between 0.81 lag and 0.91 lead, then the lagging regulator will be raising the voltage and the leading regulator will be lowering the voltage.
Primary and secondary power distribution systems (layouts explained)
Distribution transformers or secondary transformers, placed along feeders, convert the voltage from the medium to a low voltage level, suitable for direct consumption by end customers
