12 Volt Power to My Outlets
So I am wanting to start boondocking some. I plan to start out slow with short excursions, 2-3 days. My problem is that my wife uses a cpap at night. It runs on 12 volts because the output of the powe...
Forum Discussion
- CPAP or BiPAP?
- Without or without humidifier?
- Without humidifier the devices draw around 2-amperes at 12 volts
- With humidifier count on 5-6 amps when the humidifier heating element is on
- Non-sine wave AC power can destroy CPAPs and BiPAPs
- These devices demand clean sinusoidal AC power
- Translated, a pure sine wave inverter is demanded
- Respironics shouts do not use their equipment at less than 11.5 volts nor more than 13.5 volts
- Confirmation is just a phone call away
- My PSW inverter adds a 2 amp burden atop the BiPAP's 5.0 ampere draw when the humidifier heating element is on
- Do not start the engine nor an onboard generator when the device is connected to the rig's battery
- All the above is courtesy of Respironics
- Your mileage may vary.
