Has anyone noticed how warm (hot) their master relay gets?  Mine got hot enough to burn my hand after a little more than an hour in operation. The resistance across the coil is within the limits Bob Nuchols gives for continuous duty contactors. Last weekend I picked up a new relay at the Redmond fly-in and installed it today. Same problem. Perhaps these things are supposed to run very hot, but I am concerned about it being mounted on a composite bulkhead.
   What say you? Should these things run this hot?
