3. Electrical fundamentals

If there was a mainly inductive load on an AC generator, the voltage with respect to the current would

  • lag.
  • be in phase.
  • lead.

Explanation from PART66Online

With a mainly inductive load the current lags the voltage, which is the same as saying the voltage leads the current. Inductance opposes changes in current, so the current reaches its peaks later than the voltage. An in-phase relationship would only occur with a purely resistive load.
