These characteristics include low harmonic distortion caused by satisfacory performance of MLIs.  This paper is concerned with analyzing harmonics to gain a deeper understanding of the performance of cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverters (CHB-MLI). The model was constructed by using MATLAB/SIMULINK. A comparison was made between an asymmetrical cascaded 27 and 31-level multi-level inverter (MLI) by using the Phase disposition sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (PD-SPWM)and Phase Opposition Disposition sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation  (POD-SPWM) techniques. According to the outcomes of the simulations, 31 levels are better than 27 where Total Harmonic Distortion ( THD) in 31 levels is lower than 27 levels. The best result obtained during this study is  31 levels that use (PD-SPWM) technology, where the percentage of total harmonic distortion is small compared to the rest of the results and equal to 3.63%.
