Analog Devices AN-750 ADE7758 Phase Dropout Detection Application Note
The ADE7758 is a polyphase, multifunction energy metering IC that performs kWh, kVAh, kVARh, and rms current and rms voltage measurements. This document describes how phase dropout affects VAR calculation and provides solutions to detect and handle it.
Two solutions are presented for phase dropout detection. The first involves using a combination of zero-crossing timeout interrupts and voltage SAG interrupts to promptly identify the dropped phase. The second method suggests monitoring voltage rms values, though this is noted as not recommended due to higher system resource usage and power consumption.

Questions answered in these manuals
What happens to reactive power calculations if a phase used for frequency measurement drops out?
If the phase used for frequency measurement drops out, it can induce an error in the reactive power calculation of the other phases.

How long does it take for a zero-crossing timeout detection bit to be set after a phase drops out?
The corresponding zero-crossing timeout detection bit is set in the status register after 384/CLKIN x ZXTOUT seconds.
