looks good;

I would probably add "circuit" and say "plug-in circuit breaker", but that's more a matter of individual variation.

\"Two Pole Common Trip Plug-On Circuit Breakers\" from SquareD product catalog (http://ecatalog.squared.com/catalog/html/sections/01/1720100...

I also checked the Home Depot web site and General Electirc sites (http://www.geindustrial.com/cwc/products?pnlid=3&id=cb-qovrw... but their descriptions are less specific.

I\'ve dug through a bunch more circuit-breaker catalogs and the like and haven\'t any thing more that\'s helpful.

\"de branchement\" means that it is for protecting the connection between the electrial panel and the commerical power distribution network.

That said, I\'d like to revise my original response and suggest:

Two-pole common-trip main circuit breaker with one protected pole, includes a set of connector covers.

\"Single protected pole (non-differential type) two-pole plug-in breaker with one set of lead-sealable terminal covers\" looks funny.

In my career as electrical engineer I have not come across a term like that.

branchement can be accommodated if you say branching circuit breaker.

non-differential single protected pole

dipole plug-in circuit breaker with a set of sealable terminal covers.

Simplified. Lead-sealable is redundant as Plombable in French also applies to plastic seals.
