The electrical lead is responsible for designing and controlling the electrical systems within the IIAPS project. The electrical lead must work closely with all the subsystems to ensure each one is getting the necessary power to function and contribute to the successful completion of top-level project objective. This was primarily completed using a series of collaborative sessions with the Mech and EDH leads to review subsystem trade studies. The outcome of the collaborative sessions was a list of components that require electricity and datasheets that list operating voltage and currents.
PERFORMANCE STATUS & TOP LEVEL REQUIREMENTS
| ID # | Requirements | Status |
| IS8.15 | Power supplies shall be limited to an upper level of 42.4V (DC) or 30V rms (AC) with a peak value of 42.4V in the interest of personal safety. | Completed |
| EH1 | The electrical system shall supply 120 VAC to the air compressor. | In Progress |
| EH2 | The electrical system shall supply 24 VDC to the monitoring device and digital pressure sensors. | In Progress |
| EH3 | The electrical system shall supply 5 VDC to the digital flow sensors. | In Progress |
| EH4 | The electrical system shall use components that can safely convert AC to DC. | In Progress |
| EH5 | The electrical system shall use components that can safely drop voltages from 24 VDC to 5 VDC. | In Progress |
| EH6 | The electrical system shall be able to power devices for a minimum period of 8 hours (simulates a factory work day). | In Progress |
