Before revision: Shunt reactors Shunt reactors are used in power systems to counteract the effect of the line parasitic capacitance, thereby stabilizing the system voltage within acceptable URL The utility of shunt reactors for voltage control on lightly-oaded transmission lines was examined in a 1926 paper presented at the AIEE by Edith Clarke.
