Specification technique por un tableau dividionnaire

After almost a month of severe illness, plus moving two hours away, I am back with an electrical translation. At first I thought this was a mistake, but it is dividionnaire.

This is a heading; it is followed by 'see low voltage distribution boards. I could not find it in my dictionary.

Does anyone have a link to the Quebec dictionary that I always found so useful? I am visiting my children in California and do not have access to my usual sources.

As always, I am most grateful in advance.

floor panel

Explanation:
It is a typo, "dividionnaire" doesn't exist, but "tableau divisionnaire" does!

tableau divisionnaire: Le tableau secondaire ou divisionnaire assure la commande électrique pour un étage, ou un secteur.
