What size power station for an oxygen concentrator (home, stationary)?

It needs a station with at least 290 W of continuous output (starting watts not published, so the check uses running watts). At the default 85% efficiency it takes about 2,729 Wh of rated capacity for 8 hours of running, and 8,188 Wh for 24 hours of running. 53 of the 54 power stations in the Enough Watts data set can power it. The smallest one that keeps it going for 24 hours of running is the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X (12,288 Wh).

Watts

Typical figures for this type, from the sources at the foot of this page. Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.

Running, typical: 290 W
Running, low to high: 200 W to 590 W
Starting: Not publishedmotors often need 2 to 3 times their running watts to start
Typical use a day: 24 hhours the motor actually runs
Average draw while on: 290 W
Voltage: 120 V

Counts the running watts for every hour you enter.
Starting watts not published; motors often need 2 to 3 times their running watts to start.

For medical equipment, confirm the power needs with the device maker and keep a backup plan. This page is not medical advice. At the high end of the range, 590 W, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X runs it for 17.7 h, not 36.0 h.

The math

Worked with the typical figure, as the calculator does it.

Output290 W running, so the station's continuous output must be at least 290 W.
SurgeStarting watts are not published, so the surge check uses the 290 W running figure.
Average draw290 W: the running watts count for every hour it is on, as if the motor never paused.
A typical day290 W × 24 h = 6,960 Wh a day.
8 hours of running290 W × 8 h = 2,320 Wh usable, ÷ 0.85 = 2,729 Wh of rated capacity.
24 hours of running290 W × 24 h = 6,960 Wh usable, ÷ 0.85 = 8,188 Wh of rated capacity.
On the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X12,288 Wh × 0.85 = 10,445 Wh usable, ÷ 290 W = 36.0 h.

What moves the number

The flow it is built for sets the draw: 200 W for a 2 liter per minute unit, about 290 W for a 5 liter one, and up to 590 W for a 10 liter unit. Its compressor never pauses while the unit is on, and no start figure is published.

Keep the backup oxygen your supplier provides, and confirm the power needs with the device maker.

Questions

How many watts does an oxygen concentrator (home, stationary) use?

About 290 W while running, from 200 W to 590 W across the models in our sources. Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.

Can a portable power station run an oxygen concentrator (home, stationary)?

Yes. 53 of the 54 power stations in the Enough Watts data set can power it on its own. It takes at least 290 W of continuous output.

How long will a power station run an oxygen concentrator (home, stationary)?

It depends on the battery. At 85% efficiency the smallest station that powers it, the Jackery Explorer 240 v2 (256 Wh), gives about 45 min. The largest, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X (12,288 Wh), gives about 36.0 h.

Does an oxygen concentrator (home, stationary) need extra watts to start?

Its starting watts are not published, and motors often need 2 to 3 times their running watts to start. Without a published figure the site checks the start at the 290 W running figure, so leave headroom above that on your station.
