Apr 28, 2014 at 12:57 comment added Li-aung Yip I'm aware of the way it works. The more phase-displaced voltage waveforms you can get, the more 'pulses' you can have on your VSD. Normal three-phase supply gets you six pulses. Three-winding transformer (two phase-displaced three phase supplies) gets you 12 pulses. I imagine you're using a 36-pulse VSD. Am I warm? :P
Apr 28, 2014 at 11:02 comment added Stewie Griffin @Li-aungYip, it's feeding a large VSD. The main reason why there are many windings is to eliminate harmonics. I'm afraid I don't have time to go into details and find proper references right now (I'm not even sure I can find any publicly available documentation). There are however some references on this for three-winding transformer, it's much the same, only on a larger scale. I wish I could share more...
