A question, what do you mean by a machine that doesn't use the neutral? Is that to say that the machine doesn't receive the neutral in any way or that the machine doesn't use the neutral to ground out for it's operation (or something similar)?
In N.A. the typical use of a 208 3ph star transformer is for industrial lighting circuitry, as it produces 3x 120v 1ph from each phase to star neutral.
Odd that it is quoted for a 3ph industrial machine?
All the industrial machines I have worked on have generally specified ±10% supply tolerance.
