Which consequence results when impedance mismatches impede wave propagation within high-voltage transmission lines connecting power plants?

💡 Explanation

Increased reactive power losses occur because when the impedance is mismatched, the wave experiences reflection (standing wave), which is wave interference. This causes voltage and current standing waves; therefore, increased reactive power occurs rather than delivering real power. It exacerbates losses.
