I mucked that up. If the two outer limb windings were energised, the flux from each would take the shortest path through the centre limb and effectively cancel in that limb.
A 40A DC output from a typical delta secondary with full-bridge rectifier would have each secondary winding rated for about 33A. But not sure about a wye secondary design.
