While washing the boat I touched my SmartPlug and found it really hot. I unplugged it and found it goo rhad run out of one plug hole and it smelled burnt. I found charred wires so I replaced both the SmartPlug and the entire cord. I contacted the manufacurer but couldn't get a straight answer on operating temps. The load is the A/C unit that has been flawless but I had an A/C guy check it out and it passed. When I powered up the next morning it started at 77 degrees f and began to rise until I pniced and shut down at 130 degrees. I would like to know if this is the correct operating temp before I starrt checking all the wiring.
Additional info: The A/C guy found the amperage draw normal. The 130 degrees was not nearly as hot as when I found the red hot problem. The A/C breaker on the panel was ambient temp. This is Florida where temp is hot and the plug is in full sun.
