A generic station of that rated size at the 0.85 default efficiency with no idle draw, assuming its watts are enough to run and start the load. Real stations are below.
Running and starting watts
- ResMed AirSense 11, typical draw (ResMed guide), 8-hour nights: 56 W running, 56 W starting, 449 Wh a day (ResMed user guide). ResMed's user guide lists typical and peak consumption without stating humidifier or heated-tube settings; treat it as a with-humidification planning figure. An Air11 DC/DC converter is listed as an accessory; DC draw is not stated in the guide.
- CPAP with heated humidifier (chart midpoint), 8-hour nights: 90 W running, 90 W starting, 720 Wh a day (Champion wattage chart). Typical running W is the midpoint of the chart's 60–120W range.
- CPAP without heat (chart midpoint), 8-hour nights: 45 W running, 45 W starting, 360 Wh a day (Champion wattage chart). Typical running W is the midpoint of the chart's 30–60W range.
- ResMed AirMini travel CPAP (ResMed guide), 8-hour nights: 6 W running, 6 W starting, 50 Wh a day (ResMed user guide). The AirMini has no heated humidifier, so this is a manual-sourced without-humidifier figure.
Heated humidification is the biggest swing in CPAP draw. Use your own machine's manual figure in the calculator.
