I think I see what you are saying, It would give you a voltage reading to ground on all three phases. What happens - especially if you only add 250VA transformer- if you should happen to have a ground fault? The smaller transformer probably becomes a slow blow fuse I would think, but was not listed or tested to be used as a fuseHe is just saying the same thing I said in a couple posts..... make the Xo reference with ANOTHER xfmr. Just hook up any old Wye 460v xfmr winding to the 460V 3ph of concern here. A 250va xfmr, a 250kva xfmr, whatever. Ground the Xo. Now all 3 phases will show the electrician 277v to ground to satisfy the OP question.
I would think if they had most any old wye xmfr around they would likely use it instead of the delta in the first place.
