Line power loss, 138.5∠8° kV and 132 kV
Short answer
Active power loss is 9.12 MW and reactive loss is −9.60 MVAr, meaning the line is a net source of 9.60 MVAr. This occurs because the line's shunt capacitive generation exceeds its series inductive absorption.
For a 3-phase overhead line, the following data is available: VS,L = 138.5∠8° kV, VR,L = 132∠0° kV, A = 0.983∠0.68°, B = 36.5∠71.5° Ω. Determine the transmission line active and reactive power loss.
Use the power-circle equations (with ). Line voltages in kV give three-phase MW and MVAr.

The negative reactive "loss" means the line generates about 9.6 MVAr net (its shunt charging exceeds the absorbed in its series reactance).
Answer: Active power loss ≈ 9.12 MW; reactive power loss ≈ −9.60 MVAr (line is a net source of 9.60 MVAr).
