Delta 3 Max plus and Resmed Air sense 11 AC/DC test
Today I received and tested my Delta 3 Max Plus and my new Resmed DC 12 volt adapter. I purchased the Resmed adapter rather than aftermarket as it has a 10' cord and outputs enough power if one wants to use its humidity heater.
First I plugged the Air sense into the Delta 3 max plus with its AC cord. The draw after the machine equalized was 24 watts on humidity setting 4.
I then used the new 12 volt DC plug and the draw under the same humidity setting 4, after the machine equalized was 20 watts.
I expected a bigger difference in current usage, but I suppose saving 40-50 watts per night is not a bad thing. It all adds up.
I like options, I doubt I will ever need to use this machine in a car but it's worth having.
The Delta 3 Max plus was running off its battery for all tests, not connected to AC power or solar.
