The Journey of Passion, Perfection, and Extraordinary Knowledge
A great idea is borne in just a few short moments. Perhaps it takes more to document and engineer the design, a bit more to prototype, and a lifetime to perfect it. The journey experience is extraordinary, and we must share it with all. This journey was filled with the incredible discovery of knowledge, the application of that knowledge, and the power to change the world forever.
We want to share our knowledge and experiences with you to make your journey more natural.
Our online workshops culminate our work in motors, motor drives, and power electronics for the last thirty years. Power Electronics Group has launched the most innovative and revolutionary products in these areas 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 knowledge discovery was extraordinary, and the passion and dedication were without question.

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,
It is not that hard to learn all aspects. The needs of the hour pushed us to help our team of engineers solve serious design problems, and the benefits of this learning were tremendous.
Engineering a world-class wonder is never easy. It requires prudent risk-taking, profound discovery, and knowledge application. Experience and hard lessons from the trenches are most valuable.

Rakesh Dhawan, BTech, MSEE, MBA Founder of Power Electronics Group
Our online Courses combine comprehensive and practical knowledge of motor, inverter, hardware, and firmware design techniques with a system approach. This approach is critical because it forces engineers to evaluate problems from a 360-degree perspective 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. No cost reduction is possible without optimizing each component for its best performance individually and at a system level.
