Yes, that is the same kind of circuit. They are very useful when you
have multiple high-draw items in close proximity, such as a kitchen or
garage.
I believe they are used in Holiday in Express rooms <grin>.

They also now run them as 15 amp splits, where the white goes to one
side
(common) of the plug, The red and back go to the other but first the
tab
that connects the top and bottom is snipped, That way you have 2
separate 15
amp circuits on the same plug. Now you can run your taster and George
Forman
on the same counter at the same time without "blowing a fuse". I believe
the
Canadian code is for 4 of these splits in the kitchen. And if they are
within a certain distance of the sink they have to be GFI.
.... I'm not an electrician but I stayed at a holiday in express last
night...... LOL
