And that is what makes me say the current lags.

I too say that, but i say there can't be reactive power.
now, a phase shift in current and voltage, and no reactive power, can't
be, can it?
i bet a wattmeter would measure none, if it works as a multiplier....
Please anyone having a wattmeter try it, i have none and they are rare
(read expensive) at ebay.
There certainly can't be any power returned to the supply as there
would be with a capacitive lead or inductive lag load.
What kind of wattmeter? A digital meter expecting pure sine will
almost certainly be fooled. And don't the circulating current
wattmeters installed by the power company only measure current?
