Alternating Current 60 HZ Anatomy of A Sine Wave Alternating Current 60 HZ
Voltage & current Time
Current Lags Voltage
Current Leads Voltage
The Three Types of Current Referenced Against a Voltage
The values shown are the sine values at each 15 degree interval
Voltages of a poly phase system 240 Electrical Degrees 0 Electrical Degrees 120 Electrical Degrees
In This Case the current begins after the voltage so it “LAGS” the voltage Time (I) Current
Current and voltage are in phase
Notice the symbol L and the coil for an inductive load
Notice the symbol C and the plates for a capacitive load
