I had a friend, also in the electrical field, ask me a question about a buck/boost xfmr running hot, and I thought I'd go straight to the experts. He has a 2kva, 1-phase, 240v to 120v transformer, that has no real load, maybe a couple amps, using it for 120v controls. He said it is very hot to the touch, maybe not enough to burn you but hot enough to think that something is wrong. Any idea why it would be so hot, or can this be normal? Thanks for your input.
