Rather than setting the reactance to Inf, you could simply set the status of 
the line to zero ...

mpc.branch(k, BR_STATUS) = 0;

If you are running an OPF, there should be no overloads (assuming the problem 
is feasible). If you are using a simple power flow, you can compute the 
overloads as follows ...

r = runpf(mpc);
MVAflow_f = sqrt(r.branch(:, PF).^2 + r.branch(:, QF).^2);
MVAflow_t = sqrt(r.branch(:, PT).^2 + r.branch(:, QT).^2);
MVAflow_max = max([MVAflow_f MVAflow_t], [], 2);
overloads = max(MVAflow_max - r.branch(:, RATE_A), 0);
