1. A method for controlled reclosing of branch elements, in an electric power system which has been subjected to a disturbance, the electric power system comprising at least one branch element and at least one circuit breaker connected thereto, the method comprising: determining an angular difference between voltage vectors, on both sides of the circuit breaker or at two end points of the branch elements, comparing the angular difference with a comparison value, completing or blocking the reclosing in dependence on a magnitude of a deviation of said angular difference from the comparison value, and regularly and automatically updating the comparison value in such a way that an adaptive value is obtained.
