Jim,

Here is my interpretation:

1. Yes, i.e.  EN61000-3-2 specifies on page 29 supply source as 230V for single 
phase or 400V for three phase +-2% and for 50Hz  +-0.5%.

2. No, line to line is 400V. Line to neutral is 230V. 
    I believe  'PE' is quoted by you for Protection Earth? Protection Earth is 
theoretical at same potential as neutral therefore 
    voltage between line and 'PE' is 230V (however neutral must be used as line 
feed back and 'PE' must be used for protection
    only).

Here are a couple of basic queries for the group...concerning 230 Volt/50 Hz
AC power configurations for EMC testing of products destined for Europe:

1.  Other than the 950 Safety standard, are there any EMC Immunity or
Emissions  standards that specifically address power sources and power
configurations  to be applied to inputs of EUTs during EMC tests?

2.  Is it reasonable to assume (unless there are EUT/regional-specific
*special* considerations), that the power source should be configured to
measure 230V Line to Line and 115V from each Line to PE?

Comments will be appreciated!
