What is a pole transformer?

It is a type of transformer that you usually see hanging from a utility pole that feeds your house. It transforms the high transmission voltage down to the usable voltage that is used in the home.


What is the electrical voltage from the house outlet to the power supply?

The average voltage a house outlet will give actually depends on how far of a distance the house is from a transformer on the pole. If the house is fairly close to the transformer, it will probably give around 120 volts. However, if the house is a bit far from the transformer, it will probably give around 107 volts.

Why when voltage applied to only one phase of the primary side voltage is produced in all the three phases of secondary in a transformer?

Your question doesn't describe under what circumstances the transformer is being used. Normally, a two wire (hot and ground) AC voltage can only be a single phase supply. Look up the explanation of how AC current cycles on a sinewave (60Hz is 60 sinewave cycles per second). This is also known as a single phase. Coming into a standard residential house is a three wire line with two hot wires and a ground wire. The two hot wires are out of phase with each other (opposite sinewave). A standard transformer can have multiple outputs with various/same voltage. Look up how a transformer works. Without special electronic components for each output circuit, all taps will be in phase. A transformer outfitted with the special electronic components is very expensive and not for normal everyday use.
