2) Moters installed in each of the plaintiffs' greenhouses causes the supply of electricity in three ways. The defendant set up three 30 KVA voltages (a total capacity of 90KVA, hereinafter referred to as "the transformations of this case") and supplied electricity in three ways to the farmers of 15, including the plaintiffs. The sum of the contract power of the above 15 KW was 95K.

3) In around 2009, the Defendant requested the extension of contract power on the ground that part of the 15 farm households, including the Plaintiffs, used electricity exceeding the contract power capacity. Accordingly, some farmers, including the Plaintiffs, entered into a contract with the Defendant for the extension of contract power capacity from February 27, 2009 to September 9, 2009, respectively, including the expanded power capacity (60KW) and the total sum of contract power capacity of 15 farm households, which included the expanded power capacity (60KW).

4) Even after the conclusion of the power extension contract, the Defendant had already been used and supplied electricity to the Plaintiffs. The Defendant’s management standards for power distribution design (DS-3400 transformers-3) are as follows.

A person shall be appointed.

1) On January 7, 2010, at around 04:30, each of the COS Furz A (hereinafter referred to as "curz of this case") among the COS Furz in the instant transformers A, B, and C, caused an accident in which the supply of electricity to 15 farm households, including the plaintiffs (hereinafter referred to as "accident in this case") was suspended, and the employee belonging to the defendant reached the scene at around 09:10 on the same day, and exchanged the instant Furz and resumed the supply of electricity at around 10:0.

2) At the time of the instant accident, only the 7th farm households, including the Plaintiffs, among the 15th farm households at the time of the instant accident (hereinafter referred to as “Plaintiffs, etc.”) used electricity, and the sum of the contract power of the Plaintiffs, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “Plaintiffs, etc.”) is 102KW.

3) The instant accident led to the situation in which the Plaintiffs were unable to harvest her son and her friend, which had been cultivated in each of the plastic greenhouses.

4) On January 11, 2010, the Defendant replaced the instant variable with three 50KVA voltages (total 150KW capacity).

【Reasons for Recognition】

The facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 and 2, Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 10, 12, 16, 18, 19, 24, 28, 32, and 38 (including each number, if there is a lot number; hereinafter the same shall apply), each statement on the evidence Nos. 1 and 2, Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 10, 12, 16, 19, 24,

2. Whether liability for damages has arisen;

A. Whether the Defendant is liable for nonperformance under the instant electricity supply contract

1) Determination as to the cause of claim

Since the Defendant entered into each of the above electricity supply contracts with the Plaintiffs, it is obligated to stably supply the contract power to the Plaintiffs pursuant to each of the above supply contracts, and therefore, barring any special circumstance, the Defendant is liable to compensate the Plaintiffs for the damages suffered by the Plaintiffs due to the sudden suspension of power supply.

2) Determination as to the defendant's defense of immunity

A) Summary of the parties’ respective arguments

(1) The defendant asserts the grounds for discharge as follows.

According to each contract for the supply of electricity entered into between the plaintiffs and the defendant, the defendant may suspend the supply of electricity or restrict the use of electricity (Article 47 of the former Terms and Conditions of Supply), and the defendant shall not be liable for damages suffered by the customer due to the suspension, etc. of the supply of electricity (Article 49 subparagraph 3 of the former Terms and Conditions of Supply) if the defendant had no intention or gross negligence on the part of the defendant with respect to the grounds for the suspension, etc. of the supply of electricity (Article 47 of the former Terms and Conditions of Supply). However, the accident of this case, however, the defendant shall maintain the normal rate so that the plaintiffs, etc. who are supplied with electricity from the defendant to use the electricity do not go to the upper part of the former Terms and Conditions of the former Terms and Conditions of Supply, and install and operate the electric installations without complying with the normal rate of the latter Terms and Conditions of the former Terms and Conditions of Supply of this case, and the defendant shall not be held liable for damages caused by the plaintiff's intentional negligence or gross negligence.

(2) The Plaintiffs are disputing as follows.

In accordance with the instant electricity supply contract, the Defendant supplied electricity to the Plaintiffs: (a) did not implement the change voltage device (150KW) more than the existing (90KW) so that it can cope with the expanded amount of electricity due to the extension of contract power with the Plaintiffs; and (b) did not implement the accident in the instant case, even though it is necessary to inform the Plaintiffs, who are admitted, of the installation of electric installations by maintaining the upper-level rate so that it does not go too much to the point of the change pressure device, and to seek cooperation and confirm its implementation, the accident in the instant case ultimately occurred. Accordingly, the accident in the instant case occurred due to the Defendant’s intentional or gross negligence, and the Defendant cannot be exempt from the liability to compensate the Plaintiffs for the damages caused by the instant accident.

B) Relevant legal principles

When a failure occurs or is likely to occur in the Defendant’s electrical structure, the Defendant may suspend or restrict the use of the electricity supply. In this case, the terms and conditions of the electricity supply that the Defendant is not liable to compensate for the damage caused by the expropriation have the nature of the terms and conditions of the exemption. In a case where the Defendant’s intentional or gross negligence is deemed to apply even to the case caused by the Defendant’s intentional or gross negligence, it shall be deemed null and void as it is in violation of Article 7 subparag. 1 of the Regulation of Pharmaceutical Officers Act. However, only in other cases, it shall be deemed null and void (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 95Da11344, Dec. 12

On the other hand, it is reasonable to view that in the case of the electricity industry, the concept of gross negligence equivalent to the intention that the Defendant is not exempt from the Defendant’s liability in the case of the suspension of the supply of electricity, such as that the Defendant actually emphasizes the supply to the general consumers, and that the technologies and responsibilities necessary for the maintenance and management of the relevant facilities are actually owned by itself, and that in the case of the suspension of the supply of electricity, the concept of gross negligence significantly fulfills the duty of care of the good manager that should be done in light of the Defendant’s special status (see, e.g., Supreme Court

C) Determination

Based on the above legal principles, we examine whether the defendant's defense of exemption (the defendant's intentional or gross negligence is nonexistent with respect to the occurrence of the accident in this case) is admitted (in light of the above legal principles, it is deemed that the defendant's above exemption provision stipulated in the electricity supply clauses of this case is valid).

(1) Grounds for occurrence of the instant accident

As seen earlier, the instant accident occurred due to the Furst's use of this case, and we examine what the Furst's direct cause was used.

According to the above facts, when converting into power, approximately 68.86KW [A] around 68.86K at the time of the instant accident [A] was using approximately 42.4% of the power capacity of the electric installations presumed to be used by the plaintiffs, etc., 47KW at the location of the third installations + 115.42KW]x 42.4% of the electric installations at the location of 115.4%(A) at the time of the instant accident (6.5% of the power capacity). In full view of these circumstances and facts, it is reasonable to view that the instant accident was not permitted by the plaintiffs, etc. at their own discretion in compliance with the average facility rate of 30.5% of their gross negligence or 4.5% of their gross negligence by failing to comply with the agreement rate of 40% of their own facilities at the time of the instant accident (5.4% of their gross negligence or 5% of their gross negligence).

The plaintiffs asserted that the blocking machine installed in the greenhouse of the plaintiffs et al. at the time of the accident of this case does not operate in excess of the contract power amount. However, considering these circumstances, the plaintiffs et al.' statements and images as stated in Eul evidence Nos. 22, 23, 25, and 31 and the testimony at the time of the trial, the plaintiffs et al. installed a more large-scale blocking machine for contract power volume in each vinyl house. In this case, even if the plaintiffs et al. used many electricity at work beyond contract power, it can be recognized that the blocking machine installed in each vinyl house of this case is not operated first, and it is not sufficient to accept the above judgment (the plaintiffs' assertion that the blocking machine installed in the greenhouse greenhouse of this case, such as the plaintiffs et al. at the time of the accident of this case was operated in excess of contract power amount, since the plaintiffs et al. used the above al. at the time of the accident of this case more than 162.42.2)

(2) As to whether the changer of the instant changer was replaced (capacity increase)

6 through 8,12,18,19,26,27, and 31 evidence of the first instance court, inquiry results on the National Electrical Safety Corporation at the first instance court, and the overall purport of arguments as a result of fact inquiry, it can be driven within the range of 110% of the changed voltage capacity. Thus, the changed voltage of this case can be used within the range of 19W (90K x 1.1). The capacity of changed voltage of 199W is calculated at an appropriate capacity, taking into account the rate of acceptance of parts required for changing voltage, maximum load, contract power, etc. at 10% of the changed voltage of each of the changed voltage of 7.0% after the request of the plaintiffs, the defendant regularly checks the rate of use of the changed voltage of 10% of the changed voltage of each of the contract at the rate of 10% of the changed voltage of each of the changed voltage of 7.0% of the changed voltage of the contract at the time of the change of 7.0% of the changed voltage of the contract.

In full view of the above facts and the criteria for the change of the capacity of the Defendant’s snow pressure apparatus as seen earlier, even if the contract amount of the Plaintiffs, etc. has been increased, it cannot be said that the Defendant had any intention to replace or install the change pressure apparatus by increasing the capacity of the change pressure apparatus (the mere fact that the Defendant actually increased the capacity of the change pressure apparatus immediately after the occurrence of the accident in this case does not recognize that the Defendant had the Defendant’s duty to do so). Moreover, even if the Defendant assumes the above obligation to the Defendant, taking into account the aforementioned circumstances, the Defendant’s failure to replace or install the change due to the increase of the capacity of the change pressure apparatus constitutes a general progress room, and it cannot be deemed that the Defendant’s duty of care is gross negligence significantly lacking its duty of care.

In this regard, the plaintiffs argued that the defendant should replace the change pressure apparatus of this case with the change pressure apparatus of 210KVA capacity according to the extension of contract power capacity of the plaintiffs et al., but the above change pressure apparatus of this case was calculated with the assumption of "75% of the amount used for the optimal operation condition of the change pressure apparatus," and the above fact inquiry result is irrelevant to the above fact-finding of the change pressure apparatus as recommended matters to enhance the efficiency of the change pressure apparatus and to drive safely, and in this case, the change pressure engine capacity to be installed considering the side characteristics of the change pressure apparatus of this case is sufficient to be 79 KVA in rural area, so the above fact-finding results alone indicate that the defendant did not have a sufficient capacity of the change pressure apparatus of this case, and therefore, the above fact-finding results do not admit the defendant's intent or gross negligence in order to increase the change pressure of this case in relation to the occurrence of the accident of this case.

(3) As to the liability to maintain a separate balance between electrical installations

As seen earlier, according to the terms and conditions of the electricity supply of this case, the limit of the responsibility for the safety and maintenance of the electric equipment between the plaintiffs and the defendant is a supply point (Article 27 of the said terms and conditions of the electricity supply), and in cases where the load between the plaintiffs and the defendant significantly lose equity and thus hinder the defendant's electric equipment, or is likely to hinder the defendant's electric equipment, the plaintiffs must install the adjustment device or protection device acknowledged by the defendant at their own expense at the place of electric use (Article 39 (1) 1 of the said terms and conditions of the electricity supply), and in cases where the plaintiffs install goods directly affecting the defendant's supply facilities, they must notify the defendant of the details thereof in advance (Article

In addition, it is hard to understand that the plaintiffs et al. were to construct electric installations on one occasion by selecting an operator of electric installations in charge of the construction of electric installations regardless of the defendant, so it is difficult to understand that the operator of electric installations constructed to go up to one occasion, the testimony of 00 witnesses, the fact-finding results of the first instance court's first instance court's fact-finding, and the fact-finding supplementation results of the first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's fact-finding, the third electric installations are distributed equally to three. In this case, the plaintiffs et al. are finally installed in the first instance (A), and the first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's second instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's first instance court's second instance's second instance's error.

According to the above facts, it is difficult to view that the defendant, who did not receive notification as to whether to install electrical facilities in the greenhouse of the plaintiffs, etc., is responsible for the maintenance of the upper balance of the electrical facilities of the plaintiffs, etc., or the defendant, who did not receive notification as to whether to install electrical facilities under one of the plaintiffs, etc., is responsible for the maintenance of the upper balance of the electrical facilities of the plaintiffs, etc., or has the duty to seek cooperation and to confirm whether to implement the electrical facilities by providing the plaintiffs with the first aid by maintaining a separate balance. Thus, even if the defendant did not inform the plaintiff, etc. of the installation of the electrical facilities by maintaining a separate average rate so that they do not go to the point of the current voltage, and it was insufficient to reverse the judgment that there was no intentional or gross negligence by the defendant as to the occurrence of the accident of the accident of this case, the plaintiffs' above assertion is not received.

D) Sub-committee

Therefore, the defendant's intentional or gross negligence does not exist with respect to the occurrence of the accident of this case (as seen earlier, the accident of this case seems to have occurred due to the negligence of the plaintiffs, etc.). Therefore, the defendant's defense of exemption from liability for the damage of the plaintiffs due to the accident of this case is reasonable, and therefore, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion is without merit.

B. Whether the defendant is liable for any defect in the installation or management of the defendant's structure

In addition, the plaintiffs are also arguing that the defendant, who is the owner and possessor of the transformer of this case, is liable for the damages suffered by the plaintiffs due to the suspension of power supply caused by defects in the installation and preservation of the transformer of this case.

The defect in the installation and preservation of a structure under Article 758(1) of the Civil Act refers to a state in which a structure fails to meet safety requirements ordinarily required for its use. In determining whether such safety requirements are met, it shall be determined on the basis of whether the installer and custodian of the structure has fulfilled the duty to take protective measures to the extent generally required by social norms in proportion to the risk of the structure. In particular, in the case of the defendant who bears the duty to exclusively own or occupy an electric structure in Korea and takes exclusive advantage of the interests of the installation, while in the case of the defendant who bears the duty to preserve and manage the structure, the standards for electric utility or electric equipment technology can only be the criteria for considering the existence of defects in the installation and preservation of the structure, and it shall not be absolute. Thus, even if the defendant installed an electric structure in accordance with the standards of the above Act and subordinate statutes, it does not exempt the defendant from the duty to take measures to prevent accidents suitable to yellow circumstances, such as natural and human changes in the surrounding environment that occurred after the installation (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Da2878.

In the instant case, in light of the aforementioned adopted evidence and the factual basis, the Plaintiffs’ assertion and the present evidence alone are insufficient to recognize that the Defendant, while installing and preserving the transformers of the instant case, was unable to meet the safety ordinarily required according to its use, or that the Defendant did not take protective measures or preventive measures against accidents, which are required in light of social norms, even if considering the natural and human environmental changes, etc. surrounding the installation and preservation of the transformers of the instant case. Accordingly, there is no other evidence to prove otherwise.

Therefore, this part of the plaintiffs' assertion, which is based on the premise that there was a defect in the installation and preservation of the pressure apparatus of this case or other structures owned or owned by the defendant, and that the accident of this case occurred, is also without merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims in this case are dismissed without any further review as to the scope of damages. Since the judgment of the court of first instance partially different conclusions are unfair, the defendant's appeal is accepted and the part against the defendant in the judgment of first instance against the defendant is revoked, all of the plaintiffs' claims corresponding to this part are dismissed, and the plaintiffs' incidental appeal which all the plaintiffs' claims corresponding to this part are recognized as the defendant's liability for damages is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
