Property	Type	Required	Unit	Description
id	integer	yes	—	Unique integer identifier for this component.

available	boolean	yes	—	Indicator of whether the component is connected and online (true) or disconnected, offline, or down (false). Unavailable components are excluded during simulations.
arc	integer	yes	—	An Arc defining this line from a rectifier bus to an inverter bus. The rectifier bus must be specified in the from bus and inverter bus in the to bus.
