Need 400V 3phase for CNC machine, best approach?

Just got a DMG Mori machine delivered and it calls for supply power of 400V x3, N, PE (protected earth) 50/60Hz.

​​​​​​​My shop has 208/120 3phase power and I was planning to buy a local 480V to 208V delta Wye transformer and simply backfeed it as well as adjusting the taps to get below 440V.

Wiring diagrams for the machine say this:
"Isolating transformer necessary if:
--- voltage <360V
--- voltage >440V
--- TT main
--- IT main "


With losses from backfeeding the transformer, I should be close to 400V on tap7 according to the diagram: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HGMAA...nC/s-l1600.jpg


But with the machine requiring a Neutral, is it possible to wire the high voltage side of the transformer in WYE configuration also ?


I read several threads on here before making this post, I just need advice on this specific application.

Any help is much appreciated!
