Following is taken from POM of PSSE

R Branch resistance; entered in pu. A value of R must be entered for each branch.
X Branch reactance; entered in pu. A non-zero value of X must be entered for each
branch. Refer to Zero Impedance Lines for details on the treatment of branches as
zero impedance lines.
B Total branch charging susceptance; entered in pu. B = 0.0 by default.
