Eaton EATSS56 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton SS56 surge suppressor work on a Size 2 A200 starter?
Yes. The Eaton SS56 suppressor is specified for Size 0 through Size 4 A200 starters, so a Size 2 is squarely in range. Anything above Size 4 is outside what this part covers.
2) What voltage coil circuit is the Eaton SS56 suppressor made for?
It is a 120V device, rated 60 Hz. That matches a standard 120V AC control circuit feeding a starter coil. If your control transformer puts out 24V, 240V, or 480V to the coil, this is not the suppressor for that circuit.
3) Does a surge suppressor on a motor starter actually do anything, or is the panel SPD enough?
They do different jobs. A panel-level SPD clamps transients coming in on the incoming feeders. The Eaton SS56 sits at the starter and deals with the transient the coil itself generates each time it drops out, plus spikes riding the control wiring. That coil kickback is what pits contacts on pilot devices and PLC output relays driving the starter. If you are losing relay outputs or interposing contacts on a motor control center, a coil suppressor is the fix, not a bigger panel SPD.
4) Can I standardize on one suppressor across all the A200 starters in my motor control center?
If the starters are Size 0 through 4 and the control circuits are 120V at 60 Hz, yes, the SS56 covers the whole group with one part number. For facility MRO stock that means a single line item instead of one per starter size. Starters with coils at other control voltages, or frames larger than Size 4, need a different suppressor.
5) Where does the SS56 suppressor mount in the starter?
It is built for direct integration with the A200 starter, wiring across the 120V coil circuit inside the existing control enclosure rather than being a separate panel-mounted assembly. That makes it a practical retrofit in an existing MCC bucket without rework of the enclosure.
