Hi Mike - I was too impatient to wait a full hour but after a while, say 30 mins, the transformer was mildly warm, certainly not hot to touch, but not 'cold as metal either'. I have it on again now with no load to test properly if needed.
Now been on 1 hour+ . Transformer is warm to touch but not hot. All seems ok.
