You would think so, right? But, that's not what really happens.
The single breaker in a ZW is on the one wire feeding the "U" bus, to which all 4 "U" terminals are sweged to.
This is why it's so very important to avoid connecting the outputs of a ZW to each other when at all possible. Two handles set at different voltages have the potential to cause a 20+ amp fault current between them, with absolutely no overload protection.
