The invention discloses a five-phase inverter random SVPWM modulation method, and belongs to the technical field of multi-phase inverter drive control. In every sampling cycle, the sampling cycle is kept constant, a PWM pulse is delayed randomly, to achieve random change of a switch cycle, at the same time, two vector action time obtained through an NFV-SVPWM algorithm are randomly allocated, and double-random of switch frequency and zero vector action time is achieved. According to the five-phase random SVPWM modulation method, on the condition of not influencing low frequency-band harmonic performance, the amplitude of higher harmonic is drastically lowered, harmonic originally concentrated on the switch frequency and around the integral multiple switch frequency is dispersed into a wider frequency spectrum range, thus a more consecutive and even frequency spectrum is obtained, electromagnetic interference and high frequency noise are effectively inhibited, and the electromagnetic compatibility of the system is improved.
