Blinder element
The blinder element is commonly applicable to Z1, Z2, Z3, ZR and Z4. As shown in Figure
2.16.3.9, the blinder element provides the forward blinder and the reverse blinder. The operating
area of the forward blinder is the zone enclosed by the lines BFR and BFL, and that of the reverse
blinder is the zone enclosed by the lines BRR and BRL. The BFR has an angle θ of 75° to the
R-axis and BFL 90° to 135°. The angle of BRL is linked with that of BFL.
