The AC Line Voltage Sag Action sets the reaction to a Voltage Sag condition when any one of the AC Line phase voltages drops below a hard-coded threshold in the device or the configured AC Line Voltage Sag Threshold. This provides a specific (configured) response to an incoming AC Line Voltage Sag condition while the device is running.
See Power Loss Action for semantics of these enumerated actions.

The AC Line Voltage Sag Threshold attribute sets the level for AC Line Voltage Sag as percent of nominal AC Line Voltage. Nominal voltage is defined by the AC Line Voltage Nominal attribute. Measured AC Line Voltage values less than this threshold indicate an AC Line Voltage Sag condition.

When the AC Line Voltage Sag Action is set to Ride Thru, this attribute sets the timeout value before an AC Line Voltage Sag exception is generated by the device in response to a Voltage Sag condition. A value of 0 in this case results in an immediate exception.

The Converter Input Phase Loss Action attribute sets the reaction to an AC input phase loss condition. This provides a specific (configured) response to an incoming phase loss while the converter is running.

% Harmonic Ratio
100 * (Magnitude of 2nd harmonic / Magnitude of 6th harmonic)
The Converter Input Phase Loss Threshold attribute sets the detection level of an AC input phase loss condition when using a Passive AC/DC converter. The phase loss is detected by analyzing DC Bus voltage harmonics.
The function measures the DC Bus voltage and calculates the % Harmonic Ratio of the 2nd and 6th harmonics. The axis asserts the Converter AC Single Phase Loss Exception when the calculated % Harmonic Ratio exceeds this threshold.
When three phases are connected, the 6th harmonic is larger than the 2nd harmonic. When one phase is disconnected, the second harmonic is larger than the 6th harmonic. Therefore, the % Harmonic Ratio of 2nd / 6th will be less than 100% when three phases are connected and will be greater than 100% when one phase is connected.
