Eliminate current vs voltage phase different in AC inductive

[Aldy Haryopratomo]

Hi Everyone,

Please help. I have an AC circuit with an inductive load and the
current is 40 degrees ahead of the voltage. I would like to eliminate
this in the most efficient way possible. Any suggestions? Thanks a
lot.

I am confused. Inductive loads have current that lags the applied
voltage.

If the frequency is fixed, you might consider cancelling some of the
inductive current with a capacitive current. This does create some
problems with inrush current when the voltage is switched on near the
peak of the AC voltage. Please tell me more details on the situation.
