Usually with a voltage of 600 volts the motor will be three phase. To use a transformer with that motor you will need a three phase 240 volt service. These days utility companies are moving away from three phase 240 and substituting it with 120/208. The 208 three phase service has the added bonus that 120 volts can be obtained from the star point (grounded neutral).
The supply is given on the high voltage side of transformer because the supply voltage required to circulate rated current through the transformer is usually very small So energy is saved.
The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.
to have transformer action there should be an alternating magnetic flux.but dc supply cannot produce alternating flux.
If you mean how to use a resistance of so much power then it can be easily done through a step-down transformer which lowers the voltage supply and hence the power.
Transformer is the only device which is capable to stepup or stepdown an ac signal. That's why its used widely in ac supply.
If a DC supply is connected to the incomer of a transformer, you effectively have a short circuit, because the DC impedance of a transformer (actually, any inductor) is quite low. You will blow something.

There are two types of transformers:- 1. Step-up transformer & 2. Step-down transformer. A transformer used to increase the voltage is called Step-up transformer. A transformer used to decrease the voltage is called Step-down transformer. Uses of step-up transformer:- in power supply stations, in picture tubes of TV, computer monitors, halogen lights, etc. Uses of step-down transformer:- in supply of electricity to homes, in the power supply to the low voltage devices like radio, music systems which are run by AC mains.
A distribution transformer IS the term used to describe the utility transformer which supplies a residence.
Anything that draws energy from a supply is a load. So you 'load' a transformer by attaching a lamp, a motor, etc., to the transformer's secondary windings.
Control transformer used only for control supply 110,220, 24,12V AC. But Potential transformer used voltage measurement purpose.
