There are all kinds of converter functions, and changing the voltage is
only one of them. Primary and secondary are only really applicable to
certain types of transformers. Each "converter" has its own transfer
function, and I don't think it would be a good idea to limit the
discussion to a single class of converter.
Transformers come in shapes and sizes; besides changing voltage, they
can change the number of phases, upset the power factor, and do phase
shifting. Rectifiers are similarly diverse. Motor-generators can do all
of the above, and change the frequency as well. Even if the output
characteristics are equal to the input, there may be useful things going
on, such as decoupling or PF correction.
If we want to describe the overall transfer function of the whole
"building", then we need to describe the input and output
characteristics, and some aspects of the path from input to output. Just
stating a couple of voltages doesn't do justice to the potential
complexity of the overall function of the "building".
