- It's a "pain" to have to convert it to another wave shape.
- There is also the fact that some nasty harmonics will appear on the power grid if we try to use triangular or square waves. Particularly with a square wave.
- The electrical loss will be higher, too.
- Additionally, the sine wave is the 'purest' waveform, being the root of all other period wave forms.

Why sine wave is used for power supply systems globally?
AC power comes from an electrical generator, which is a set of stationary coils (the stator) around a rotating magnetic field (the rotor). This configuration produces a sine wave output. We use a sine wave on the power grid because that's the way the electricity is generated, and it is a "natural" thing to do.
THE MAIN FACT IS THAT-SINE WAVE GENERATES LEAST HARMONICS COMPARED TO SQUARE, TRIANGULAR ETC. AND THE REMOVAL OF HARMONICSIS NOT SO COMPLICATED FOR SINE WAVE.
