Bantam, maybe you can help me understand what power usage I am using with my Cpap machine.
Bottom of Machine
When I bought my machine it was supplied with a 60w power supply.

Later I bought a humidifier to fit onto it. It came with it's own power supply and was an 80w.

At the same time I also acquired a 12v lead to go with it as
well. I was asked if I was going to use the humidifier with it, and I answered "yes" and was given a rather heavy duty one. The wire on this lead appears to be same size as what is on the 80w 240v power supply.
I have removed the fuse and looked at it and I found etched on one end of it s8A250V.
It is a rather large fuse.

I did a bit of a
test with it plugged in to a 12v socket and I got a draw between 1.8 and 2.3a without the humidifier. The
test gear I was using was a bit dodgy though, and I wasn't sure what I was doing either.
I do not understand what the full line over the dotted line means between the 12v and the amps on the stickers.
If you could explain what the numbers on the stickers mean in 12v against 240v would be appreciated.
Cheers
