The stacked polyphase bridges (SPB) converter topology is investigated in the presentthesis as a fault-tolerant choice for permanent-magnet synchronous reluctance (PMSyn-Rel) motor control. Integrated motor drive systems are studied as they offer great benefitsfor propulsion applications. Moreover, the importance of a modular topology, like theSPB, for an electric powertrain is discussed. The latter consists of a number of seriesconnected, 3-phase 2-level inverter submodules that supply separate sets of windings ina multi-star motor. The specifications of building a four-board SPB setup are examined,while the challenges of an active voltage balancing controller are analyzed. The designprocess is explained step-by-step and the final printed circuit boards (PCBs) are presented.Furthermore, the significance of low electromagnetic interference design for a converterthat requires high speed communication is highlighted. Finally, the prototype is testedthoroughly and the expected fault-tolerant capabilities are validated on a PMSynRel motor. / I detta examensarbete unders¨ok SPB-omriktartopologin (stacked polyphase bridges converter)i termer av ett feltolerant elektriskt drivsystem f¨or en permamentmagnetassisteradsynkron reluktansmaskin (PMSynRel). SPB-omriktaren best°ar av ett antal seriekoppladetrefasomriktare av tv°aniv°atyp som, var och en, f¨orser effekt till en trefaslindningtillh¨orande en modul¨ar elmaskin av multifastyp. Specifikation, design och konstruktion aven SPB-omriktare med fyra seriekopplade moduler studeras. Designproceduren presenterasi en steg-f¨or-steg-process och de tillverkade kretskorten presenteras utf¨orligt. Kommunikationenmellan de olika kretskorten unders¨oks med s¨arskild tonvikt p°a l°ag elektromagnetiskinterferens vilket ¨ar n¨odv¨andigt om h¨og kommunikationshastighet skall kunnauppn°as. Den f¨ardigst¨allda prototypen har utv¨arderats experimentellt och kapaciteten f¨orfeltolerans har demonstrerats vid drift av en PMSynRel-maskin utrustad med en multifaslindning.
