A method of designing a random pulse width modulation (RPWM) inverter with unwanted harmonic elimination, which first uses a Fourier analysis and a numerical analysis to eliminate the unwanted harmonic components, next uses the equal area approach to produce switching angles to be used as start values for solving non-linear equations, next selects low-order harmonics to be eliminated and randomly sampled harmonics to solve the equations and obtain pluralities of switching angles for eliminating different harmonics, next applies pluralities of harmonics to a random probability function to thereby obtain a harmonic distribution, and finally uses a random sampling to evenly disperse the higher side-band harmonic components and effectively suppress the low-order harmonic components.
