Shunt reactors are used to compensate ferranti effect for excessive shunt capacitance on long, lightly-loaded transmission circuits and compensate the leading reactive power of the lines (power factor correction).

for a long transmission line, line itself act as a capacitor and at sometimes at no load receivind end voltage might become greater than sending end....
to avoid this situation shunt reactors are used at power substatio
