Yes, they do run hot enough to burn you. The fan should be running if it is that hot. Also should be placed in a ventilated area that can get plenty of free air and exhaust it. My Magnatek, which I only use as standby in the event of a failure w/my Trace inverter, runs hot enough to keep the fan going almost continuously. The product of energy conversion is heat!
Hello Again. Thanks for your great answers in the past.I LOVE this site!! I have another "rookie" question. My power Converter on my '93, 27' class C Gulfstream seems to run hot when plugged into AC. If I touch the big transformer looking unit I could burn myself. Is this normal. I'm affraid of a fire. Also should the fan always run or does it turn on when it gets hot. Mine feels hot but the fan is not going around. Thanks Again |
