My first question here is why must the high leg be eliminated?

If it truly must be gone, a transformer with a 240∆ primary and a 120/208Y secondary will work.

The fact that it's an open ∆ is irrelevant, the load cannot tell the difference.

Thanks to all for your help! Actually micromind had the info I needed.
A simple 240 volt delta to a 208 volt wye connection is what I was looking for.
I was on the phone with tech support for a half hour the other day in regards to this machine and the "highleg". Apparently this very big, and very expensive printer, will not tolerate the higher voltage to ground. Im not sure if this tech. even knows what his talking about, but I will not be the one to apply a highleg to a machine( when instructed not to) that cost twice what my house is worth!
Thanks again for all input! Much appreciated.

The factory tech may very well be right......

If the machine has VFDs and they use MOVs for spike protection (most do), then they'll see the high leg as a spike and when they cannot clamp the voltage down, they'll blow up.

As much as I like high-leg systems, they have their disadvantages.
