Your reply makes sense to me, but it also brings me to notice that
"circuit" is used freely in the surrounding text, and yet the standard
says "regulating network" rather than "regulating circuit" perhaps this
implies "network" is a narrower concept?
Almost certainly not. Electronics engineers are not generally
highly-skilled in language studies, and when texts are supplied by
different people, undefined terms are often not co-ordinated. Sometimes
the IEC editors pick up such differences, but many of them are not
highly trained in electronics, so wouldn't query the use of two words
for the same thing.
Looked at another way, what else could 'network' mean in this context?
If there was an intention to make such a fine distinction, then
'circuit' and network' would have been defined.
