Dyson heater - powering with Rivian?

[mmcool]

Out of power. Can I run Dyson heater (Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Purifying Heating Fan HP7C) on rivian? How long should it work?

How much power does the heater draw? It should have a label on it or its power supply. Most electric heaters will draw more power than the Rivian inverter can provide.

The Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool™ HP7C operates with varying power consumption depending on its mode:

Fan Mode: Consumes up to 40 watts.

Heater Mode: Consumes up to 1,500 watts.


In heater mode, this translates to approximately 12.5 amps on a standard 120-volt circuit. It's advisable to use the heater on a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading.

It should work. The Rivian outlets are rated right at 1,500W.

It will drain the battery at roughly 1.5% (ish) per hour, assuming you have the 135kWh large pack.

1,500W divided by 135,000Wh of capacity on the battery is 1.1%, minus some efficiency loss from the inverter and extra energy used keeping the car on.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the extension cord you’re using is rated for 1,500W. Many cheaper extension cords are not rated for this.

This should be able to handle 1500 watts

I would suggest running it on a slightly lower setting than max (1500W).

What is out of power? The house?

I almost spat out my beer.
Cheers ??

Agree with the above:
1. Don't run continuously at the high setting of 1500 W. Try to leave a 20% buffer and run at 1200 W or lower.
2. The extension cord is important. To keep resistive heating to a minimum, use the shortest cord possible. Preferably a contractor-grade cord with 10 or 12 gauge (AWG) wires.

I wondered this as well. Then I saw this:

I don't believe Dyson heaters (at least ours) has a high or low setting. It only has a temp controlled setting that cycles either high or off. Most cheaper space heaters have a high and low. Low for most of those is around 1100W.

It might work, but I would not be surprised at all if it trips. Any time you run an inverter close to it's rated output, it's a coin flip as to if/when it trips.

If the extension cord is (mostly) in the room that you want to heat then resistive heating in the cord is fine. Afterall, the heater itself is just a resistive heater, so whether you dissipate the heat in the heater or in the cord it still serves the same purpose of heating up the room.

Not really. A resistive heater is designed to radiate that heat away and works as a result, unlike a cord that heats until failure, fire or both.

For what it's worth, I ran a refrigerator and a small heater (blows warm air) during our recent power outage of several days. Thanks Rivian!!
