I have been trying to help someone with a Snap On BRA7180V compressor that has pressure switch and starting problems – It purchased used.
The motor starter has a 24 volt coil but I can not find a transformer to step the 240 v down to 24.
Either I’m missing something or the wiring is incorrect.
I would like to get a schematic of the controls so I can determine if components are missing and if it needs rewiring. Thanks
James

I dunno what else is going on with this thing, but the transformer, if used, would be a 120V in 24V out, as in bell transformer.
You have 120 if you run a neutral into it.
(You CAN use ground instead of neutral, but you MAY not – it’s against code.)
Maybe you can post some pix with electrics detail?
New comment? New question? Please add it here along with photos to help others help you with your compressor and equipment problem!
Hey it’s a 240v not 24 so you need a 10/3 wire which is 2 hots and a neutral and ground
I have the Snap-on BRA7180VEM and can’t find who makes the cast iron pump. I pulled the oil sight glass off after draining and ran a magnet inside the crankcase and found metal shavings which gives me a clue about the 10 seconds of loud knocking at startup until some tank pressure is achieved. I noted that the rod moved a bit side to side when coxed by the magnet. I think it probably needs a rebuilt but can’t find the info I need on the pump to search for a rebuild kit. Any ideas who makes it and where… Read more »
