power adaptor for travel

I will be travelling in the UK in September. The last time I was there, 2001, I was not using a CPAP, but I blew out my hairdryer when using a power adaptor. I bought the best I could find at the time. Does anyone use a workable one for travel?

Which machine do you have?

Many xPAPs will operate on 110 V 60 Hz (US/Canada) or 220 V 5O Hz (Europe) with no electrical conversion at all. The machines automatically adjust to the voltage supplied.

However, you will need an adapter that converts the twin-blade U.S. plug to the plug used at your destination. Alternatively, for my ResMed APAP, you can get power cords with the appropriate plugs for different countries.

Ya, my CPAP says "100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz", so it'll even work in Japan.

many modern CPAPs will detect and adjust to any AC voltage between 100 and 240, others may need switching for the different voltage, I had one that also needed different fuses to be fitted, the reading light bulb in your room usually has the voltage on it

some countries have power points or outlets suitable for an electric shaver and a CPAP mustnt be plugged into these as it uses too much electricity

many shops sell adaptors for the country you are visiting
