permit that high leg to be installed in the same panel as the neutral.
The NEC allows it though.

What you are describing sounds to me like a 240V "star" system with high
leg, a variant of Y. Two of the phases are 240V center tap with the center
tap connected to neutral. That provides four 120V legs. The third is 240V
with one end rather than the center tap of that transformer's winding
connected to neutral to provide the "high leg". It is possible to use the
center tap of that to provide a fifth 120V leg.


The secondaries are connected in delta. One of the secondaries has a CT
that is used as the neutral for 120 VAC loads.
