Abstract: A latching handle mechanism can secure a module containing a circuit interrupter. The mechanism has a lever mounted at a handle frame to rotate between a secured position and a released position for securing and releasing the module at a structure. Also includes is a shuttle plate that is mounted at the handle frame and adapted to connect mechanically to the circuit interrupter. The shuttle plate is mounted to reciprocate between an engaged and disengaged position in order to operate the circuit interrupter. The shuttle plate is also manually reciprocatable to operate the circuit interrupter, when the lever is in the secured position. The lever is operable in the released position to restrain and prevent manual reciprocation of the shuttle plate in order to prevent manual operation of the circuit interrupter.
