Disconnect operating handles for circuit breakers are configured with a rotary handle attached to an inwardly oriented shaft that connects to a gear assembly that translates rotational input to linear input. The disconnect operating handles include pivoting lockout levers that can automatically 'pop' out to expose the lockout space for a padlock when a user touches the lever in an appropriate location.
