UL 1459, its successor, and CSA are the same on these points. What's
important in reading them is "properly installed" w/r to their "purpose".
Ganged breakers are expected to have the same current in each leg; thus they
don't impede each other. Using a ganged breaker in a split or multi-
situation would be an improper application. All breakers and fuses are
specced and include a time-chart of current vs time for opening so that
makes it obvious too.

So what breaker DO you use for a split receptacle if not a "ganged"
breaker????

Is it just a terminology thing, or are there two commonly available
dual-cuircuit breakers ?
