Raise of TRIAC A1-Gate potential under load after triggering

During experiments with a TRIAC I noticed that appart from the triggering signal the A1-Gate voltage remains 0V under no load condition. Under load conditions the A1-Gate voltage remains elevated after triggering up to the moment the TRIAC stops conducting.

In the information found sofar I find only information on the latching current nothing on the above mentioned effect.

Why is this happend or do I make an error in the measuring procedure.?
