Schneider Electric 9066RA2 Reset Mechanism

Schneider Electric's Square D 9066RA2 Reset Mechanism is an external reset kit designed to restore a tripped overload or starter from outside a NEMA 1/12 enclosure. Specifically intended for use with Type S enclosure doors, this two-rod RA2 configuration ships with two reset rods, a mounting bracket, and a steel cross bar that provides adjustable spacing for the rods (holes spaced at 1/2-inch intervals). This ensures a secure, repeatable reset path that does not require opening the enclosure door after a fault condition has been resolved. The kit is compatible with Schneider Electric's 9065 overload relays and with open-type magnetic starters, enabling an external reset without disassembly in many standard control-panel applications. In practice, the 9066RA2 external reset mechanism offers a convenient, hands-on reset option in environments where quick servicing and minimal downtime are important. By placing the reset access on the door side, technicians can perform the reset operation with standard hand tools, relying on the included bracket and cross-bar to align the rods with the mechanism inside the enclosure.
