Howdy Bill,

What you are witnessing is normal. An auxilary cooling fan is a relatively large inductive load accelerating a large mechanical load. It takes a great deal of current to overcome all that inertia.

If you are uitilizing a used relay, the contacts may be carboned, adding to the startup load. If the relay is new, what you see is probably the best it can be without resorting to a soft start circuit.
