The Journey of Passion, Perfection and Extraordinary Knowledge
A great idea is borne in just a few short moments. It takes, perhaps, a bit more to document and engineer the design. Probably, a bit more to prototype. It takes a lifetime to perfect it. The experience of the journey is extraordinary, and we must share it with all. The incredible discovery of knowledge, application of that knowledge and power to change the world forever fills this journey.
We want to share our knowledge and experiences with you so your journey may be more natural.
Our online workshops are a culmination of our work in the field of motors, motor drives and power electronics for the last 30 years. Power Electronics Group has launched the most innovative and revolutionary products in the area of motors and motor drives for the previous several years.
So, We speak with the experience of having lived through each of these products from conception to manufacturing launch to continuous perfection. The mistakes were grand, the lessons were painful, the discovery of knowledge was extraordinary, and the passion and dedication were without question.

Permanent Magnet Brushless Motors – A System Approach
Lessons from the Trenches
We believe that a real-world class product in motors and motor drives is not possible without knowing all four aspects of the systems in depth:
- Motor;
- Inverter;
- Hardware;
- Firmware,
And it is not that hard to learn all aspects. The needs of the hour pushed us hard to help our team of engineers to solve serious design problems. And the benefits of this learning to all were tremendous.
Engineering a world class wonder is never easy, and it requires taking prudent risks and a profound discovery and application of knowledge. Experience and hard lessons from the trenches are most valuable.
“For a Company, Cumulative Discovery of Knowledge and its Application must reach a Critical point for it to matter. The journey must be Passionate and Patient. ”
Rakesh Dhawan, Founder & CEO of Power Electronics Group LLC
Our online Courses bring a comprehensive and practical knowledge together on the motor, inverter, hardware, and firmware design techniques with a system approach. A system approach is critical because it forces engineers to evaluate problems with a 360-degree view rather than a narrow portion of it.
Only an in-depth knowledge of the motor characteristics can help develop great hardware and firmware. Knowing the limitations of hardware and firmware helps us develop an excellent motor. And no cost reduction is possible without optimizing each of these components for their best performance individually and at a system level.
