Are you sure about that run limit time?  Here in Canada where it is
common for an oil furnace to run for 10 to 15 minutes at a go, the
transformer with a 3 minute limit would be useless.  I'm using a
pair of OBIT's on my coil and have had extended runs with no ill
effects or heating of the transformers.
