10. ●Standard 60mm CPU fan will be required in order to cool the interior of the housing. ●Protect the electrical components of the system from overheating. ●Controlled by system temperature. ●The fan will be mounted on the back side of the middle enclosure, as shown. Cooling and Grounding The critical components of the grounding system will be a 104-PR-5A Miniature Circuit Breaker. This will provide a central overcurrent protection for all system components.

11. Test Plan ●Continuity testing will be performed throughout the components of the housing to ensure components are fully grounded. ●The fully assembled system will be run while the fan is operating at its available speed. The internal temperature of the system will be monitored until it reaches steady state, along with the power draw of the fan. a.Ideal Temperature < 60 degrees C b.Ideal Power Draw < 10 Watts ●Housing will be emptied of electrical components, placed on a scale, and weighed. Overall dimensions of the housing will be measured and the total volume will be calculated. a.Ideal Weight < 15 lbs b.Ideal Volume < 2000 in^3 ●Emptied housing will be fully disassembled and reassembled by single person while being timed. a.Ideal Time < 5 minutes Parts necessary ●Digital Multimeter ●Tape measure ●Scale ●Thermocouples Housing: Test Plan
