No, not for a CPAP that doesn’t require grounding. But in that case, there would be no need for "but will accept a 3 prong plug in," as stated above. All I am saying is that if an extension cord "accepts a 3 prong plug in," it needs to carry that conductor to a 3rd prong on its own plug. If there is a need to connect to an outlet that has no third prong, use an adapter at the outlet as I explained. I note that my AutoSet Spirit has no third prong. It is double-insulated and thus deemed to be safe without one.  It does, however have a polarized plug. I.e. One prong is a little wider than the other and you can only plug it in one way: you can’t reverse the prongs. That’s because it’s designed to have the hot and neutral potentials where it expects them. All modern receptacles have one slot wider, and the Electrical Code (U.S. anyway) requires the hot wire to be connected to the narrower slot and neutral to the wider one. I’ve forgotten how the 3 – 2 prong adapter solves this problem or if it allows connection to older non-polarized receptacles (that allow you to plug something in either way). I just checked and I couldn’t find one to look at. Maybe I’ll go to the hardware store and pick one up. I should have one around I guess. I’ll post what I learn. — Jim "Be right back… Godot"

for a CPAP that is not grounded?…

Good advice, Mike.  I’ve been traveling with a multi-outlet extension cord that remains resident in my CPAP bag. If I may add one more bit of advice, it would be to get a surge-protector extension cord.  It might just keep the electronics in your CPAP from frying. Pleasant dreams.

This is bad advice. Defeating the grounding is dangerous. Easier and safer to get an adapter that goes from 3 to 2 and has a little wire that connects to the center screw of the outlet (which is almost always grounded).

Like my earlier post on using a "cube tap"— I carry a 3 prong version and a 2 prong version, They are very compact, each one is only about an inch in each side dimension.

my problem has been that my THREE prong CPAP cord has to be plugged into a TWO prong electrical plug in that doesn’t work too well unless you get fancy and disconnect the 3rd prong on the extension cord (i would never do that to the CPAP cord) "Ron G" <r…@gould.net> wrote in message

Another option – especially since most motels will provide an extension cord if you ask – is a combination extension/surge supressor.

Hi— I take a "triple outlet" which is a short cube shaped plug and it has 3 outlets. It seems that both of the outlets by the bed are used all the time, one for the lamp, the other for the clock radio. This way I can use the "cube tap" right at the outlet, and have my BiPap (and) the bedside light be functional and working. Best— Ron Tiger Lily <m…@privacy.com> wrote in message
