How many houses can a 10kVA transformer power?
A 10 or 15 kva transformer may only be able to power one house.

Add electric car charging to that.

What is the maximum voltage a transformer can produce?
Depends on the size / rating of the transformer! A typical home might be rated to a maximum of 13kVA to 15 kVA supply. So divide the transformer rating by 15 and you have your answer. (The transformers are typically up to 200kVA.)
What do you look for when buying a distribution transformer?
1. technical specs of the distribution transformer particularly the loading capacity (MW) or ampacity. 2. the kW consumption of a typical household….for example, the power consumptions in urban vs. rural residents are different…. I think in Queensland each house is allocated either 4 kW (SE Qld) or 5 kW (North) connection.
