Abstract
A device and method for deactivating a circuit breaker having an actuating lever and forming part of an electronic module. The electronic module is electrically connected to a power source and is inserted within a housing structure. The deactivating device comprises an activation member moveable between at least two positions, namely activated and deactivated positions, and an interface means for providing a mechanical contact between the activation member and the housing structure. Upon initiating removal of the electronic module from the housing structure for electrical disconnection from the power source, the interface means contacts the activation member to displace the activation member from the activated position to the deactivated position. The activation member in turn contacts the actuating lever to deactivate the circuit breaker thereby ensuring electrical deactivation of the electronic module prior to its electrical disconnection from the power source.
