A method for controlling an electrical transmission network including a plurality of DC high-voltage lines and at least three AC/DC converters identified by a respective index i. For each of the converters having index i, the method includes recovering the setpoint active power value Pdci applied thereto, and recovering instantaneous voltage value Vi and voltage angle value θi of the buses having index i and modifying the setpoint active power Pdci of each of the converters having index i by a value including a term ΔPdcsi as a function of a sum of deviations of voltage angles multiplied by contribution adjustment parameters.

The single-phase circuit-breaker comprises at least one interrupting chamber formed by an insulating tube filled with an insulation gas, and it comprises at least one current transformer whose secondary is disposed in air around the primary at one end of the tube. The primary is at the high voltage electrical potential of the phase and is constituted by an annular metal support. The secondary is subjected to a high voltage electrical potential that is practically equal to the potential of the primary. The current transformer is thus integrated in the circuit-breaker, and the measurement electronics associated with the secondary can be located in air close to the secondary.
