Do you mean because Uo might not be 230?The only thing that troubles me is that if what they wanted to specify was 3% and 5% of 230V, why didn't they just put 6.9V and 11.5V in Table 12?
They didn't which is why they haven't.

Another thoroughly thought through new requirement.
It might not be. I've seldom (if ever) measured a nice crisp steady 230V or 400V. If you're at the last pole, Uo might well be at the lower end of the tolerance, or even below (the REC probably wouldn't care - something people actually suffer from).

Nominal (being such in name only) and not measured. Uo is 230v.
No - it doesn't matter where you are, or what actually trickles off the last pole - the Uo of the single phase public supply in this country is always 230V.If you're at the last pole, Uo might well be at the lower end of the tolerance, or even below (the REC probably wouldn't care - something people actually suffer from).
It is allowed to be up to 3%/5% of the actual voltage, or is it allowed to be up to 3%/5% of the nominal voltage?
For 5% circuits at the maximum permitted voltage drop based on Uo, the final voltage for a 230±10% supply will range from 195.5V to 241.5V.There is hardly any difference btwn calculating as a % of permitted tolerance or calculating as a % of 230V.
Apparently not, when looking at the absolute values, but it does mean that you can't design for 3% and 5%. If you were to assume linear resistive loads then it's a PoP to design for a VD of a %ge of your actual voltage, but when your VD is a fixed limit you have to assume worst case, so to achieve no more than 6.9V when your actual voltage rises to 253V means designing for a % drop of 2.73%, not 3, and for 11.5V circuits for 4.55%.So one has to wonder if it really matters whether you use a % of actual voltage or the figures 6.9V and 11.5V.
a 230±10% supply

So if your supply company cannot confirm complete compliance with ESQCR all isolation and switching devise must comply with chapter 53. ie sp isolation unacceptable.
