Jea48,
You are smarter than that. You know the definition of created.
If the voltage on the supply side drops it drops on the other side of a transformer. It isolated electricity it doesn't create it.
One side of the transformer has an electromagnet on it that created a field that oscillates at 60 hz. That field is transfered by the core to another set of wires that the field is inducted to. If electricity was truly being created, it would violate the first law of thermodynamics.
Definition of a transformer:
And for those that are excited about the idea of a balanced isolation transformer, from the NEC:

Definition of a transformer:
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.Transfer, not creation...
Isolation transformers block transmission of the DC component in signals from one circuit to the other, but allow AC components in signals to passhmmm... so if I have an AC noise or change in AC voltage will the isolation transformer let it pass or will it always be a perfect sinewave?
And for those that are excited about the idea of a balanced isolation transformer, from the NEC:
647.3 General. Use of a separately derived 120-volt single-phase 3-wire system with 60 volts on each of two ungrounded conductors to a grounded neutral conductor shall be permitted for the purpose of reducing objectionable noise in sensitive electronic equipment locations provided that the following conditions apply.
(1) The system is installed only in commercial or industrial occupancies.
