Electrical and electronic equipment, as well as components, are typically housed in an electrical enclosure designed to provide protection from the external environment. However, even with a sealed enclosure the introduction of moisture and water can result from a variety of circumstances. Once inside the enclosure, this water can accumulate — from small droplets on the components themselves to large puddles in the base of the enclosure.
