The voltage at the remote end is lower than at the transformer due to resistive losses in the transmission line, commonly known as voltage drop. As electrical current flows through the line, resistance converts some electrical energy into heat, resulting in a decrease in voltage. Additionally, factors such as line length, conductor material, and load current can exacerbate this voltage drop, especially in long-distance transmission systems.
A coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) is composed of two stacks of capacitors which step the primary voltage down to a lower voltage potential transformer. These are typically used on 100kV and above, and the potential transformer is often around 15kV on the primary side. There are two reasons to use CCVTs over PTs (potential transformers) - at the above voltage levels, they are cheaper, and they can be used for power line carrier signal injection. Under transient conditions, CCVTs typically won't perform as well as PTs, and also may have worse accuracy ratings, so are often not acceptable for metering purposes.
A little more than 6 volts RMS, or 17 volts peak to peak (can get -6 and +6 voltage this way using a full wave rectifier). The voltage will depend strongly on your design - are you using circuitry that clamps the output voltage to a specific value (you should!). If you are doing this, I would find the cheapest transformer that meets the current capacity you need that has an output near the 6 volts you want.
Induction is the principle operating mechanism of transformers, so any voltage and current output of a transformer - a volt or less to hundreds of thousands of volts (I think the top AC voltage in the world right now is near 1,000kV), and milliamps to thousands of amps.
To achieve maximum efficiency in a single transformer, the following criteria should be met: the load should match the transformer's rated capacity, minimizing losses from copper (I²R losses) and iron (core losses). The transformer should operate at or near its rated voltage and frequency to optimize performance. Additionally, a suitable core material with low hysteresis and eddy current losses, along with proper cooling to manage temperature, contributes to enhanced efficiency.
A current transformer (or CT) is constructed in a specific way so as to step down the current in a high power circuit for measuring or protective relaying purposes. Typically, it will have a toroidal-shaped iron core with the secondary windings wrapped around it. the primary "winding" is usually the conductor of the main power system passing directly through the hole in the center of the CT. As a result of this construction, if the secondary windings are left open, a very large flux can develop, resulting in damage to the CT and possibly even the other equipment it is attached to. As such, if the CT is not going to be used, its secondary windings need to be shorted.
A lightning arrestor acts to reduce a voltage surge due to, for example, a lightning strike on a power line. This will protect the transformer from an over-voltage acting to break down its resistance. A lightning arrestor is connected between each line conductor and earth. Under normal voltage conditions, it acts as an insulator, but when a critical value of over-voltage is reached, it conducts -suppressing the voltage spike.
The VTSS relay, or Voltage Transformer Secondary Side relay, is typically found in electrical substations and power distribution systems. It is used to monitor and protect voltage transformers by detecting faults or abnormal conditions in the system. The relay is usually located near the voltage transformer it serves, ensuring efficient operation and quick response to issues.

The steps involved in doorbell transformer installation are: Turn off the power to the doorbell circuit. Locate the existing transformer or install a new one near the electrical panel. Connect the transformer to the power source using electrical wiring. Connect the transformer to the doorbell system using low-voltage wiring. Test the doorbell to ensure it is working properly. Secure the transformer in place and restore power to the circuit.

To hook up a doorbell transformer, first turn off the power to the area where you will be working. Locate the transformer near your electrical panel. Connect the transformer to a power source using electrical wire, making sure to match the wire colors. Then, connect the transformer to the doorbell system using low-voltage wire. Test the doorbell to ensure it is working properly before turning the power back on.

To install low voltage lighting in your outdoor space for ambiance and energy efficiency, follow these steps: Plan your lighting layout and choose suitable fixtures. Purchase a low voltage transformer to convert household electricity to safe low voltage. Install the transformer near a power source and connect it to your lighting fixtures. Bury or conceal the low voltage cables to avoid tripping hazards. Test the lighting system and adjust as needed for optimal ambiance and energy efficiency.
Voltage isn't "shipped", really. Generator terminal voltage is typically in the range of 10-30kV; they are connected to the bulk electric system by step up transformers that convert this 10-30kV into voltage in excess of 100kV for power transmission. Near your home, this voltage is again stepped down to sub transmission voltage levels, then distribution voltage levels. The small power lines near your home are probably distribution level power lines (often 2 - 20kV); these will have a center tapped step down transformer to connect your home, at 120volts, to the grid.
The power plant has generators that convert power from a mechanical source, such as a heat engine or hydroelectric turbine, into electrical energy. To deliver the electrical energy long distances requires a network of very long transmission lines. The long distances requires power at a very high voltage. Voltage, or "electromotive force" is the force that pushes the electrical current through the wires. The high voltage is produced by a transformer in an electrical substation that is located very close to the power plant. The transformer changes the voltage produced by the gnerator, which is usually about 15,000 volts, to hundreds of thousands of volts. The electricity is transmitted, hundreds, even thousands of miles on high voltage transmission power lines. Near the school, the transmission line is connected to another substation. This substation has a transformer that changes the hundreds of thoursands of volts of the transmission line down to a much lower voltage, usually below 20,000 volts. The lower voltage power is delivered to customers on electrical distribution lines, owned by the local utility company. Near the school is another transformer. This transformer changes the distribution voltage to a much lower voltage for direct use inside the school. The voltage of the power used in the school is usually between 120 volts and 480 volts, and there is usually other transformers in the school to change the electrical energy to voltages specifically required for ventilation motors, lights, computers, copiers, kitchen appliances, etc.
The transformer for your doorbell is typically located near your home's electrical panel or in the attic or basement.
