So technically the transformer layout I posted a few messages ago could be wired to produce either Electrician Dude's Delta connection, or two of my Wye connections, or up to 416V output with neutral in the center. Versatile, huh?

What you've posted is a standard transformer with delta primary configuration and depending on secondary winding connectin it may be D/Y or D/D. Produced voltage depends on primary voltage and number of winding turns on primary and secondary side.

Current time is 00:45
