Reliability &
Qualification Lab.
Accelerated life testing, HALT/HASS, thermal cycling, vibration, humidity, and shock testing at ARAI Pune — India's premier automotive and industrial qualification facility, adjacent to the Power Flux AI headquarters.
Qualification at India's premier test facility.
ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) in Pimpri-Chinchwad provides world-class reliability and qualification testing capability minutes from the Power Flux AI headquarters. Power Flux AI uses ARAI for all reliability qualification, accelerated life testing, and environmental stress testing of power electronics hardware. The facility is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and provides test reports accepted globally by automotive and industrial certification bodies.
What this lab enables.
Accelerated Life Testing
Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) to precipitate design weaknesses. Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) for production screening. Identifies failure mechanisms that would not appear in standard reliability testing.
Temperature Cycling & Shock
IEC 60068-2-14 thermal shock. IEC 60068-2-1/2 cold/dry heat. Temperature cycling from −55°C to +125°C with controlled ramp rates. Solder joint fatigue life assessment for power modules.
Vibration & Shock
IEC 60068-2-6 sinusoidal vibration. IEC 60068-2-64 random vibration. IEC 60068-2-27 shock. MIL-STD-810 environmental simulation for defense applications. Resonance search and dwell.
Damp Heat & Salt Fog
IEC 60068-2-78 damp heat. IEC 60068-2-11 salt fog for marine and coastal applications. Humidity cycling. Accelerated corrosion testing for enclosure coating and connector specification.
Electrical Stress Screening
Burn-in testing at elevated temperature and voltage. ESD testing to IEC 61000-4-2. Surge immunity to IEC 61000-4-5. Conducted emissions to CISPR 11 during environmental stress.
ISO 17025 Accredited Reports
Test reports issued under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Accepted globally by UL, TUV, BIS, and CE certification bodies. Reduces time and cost of formal third-party certification.
