Blackouts Hit 4 Apartment Complexes in Dajeong-dong and Saerom-dong, Sejong Due to Temporary Line Malfunction

Power outages occurred at four apartment complexes in Dajeong-dong and Saerom-dong, Sejong City, at around 7:20 p.m. today (August 20).

According to the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), the blackout was caused by a temporary power line anomaly in the Dajeong-dong and Saerom-dong areas.

KEPCO explained that while its electricity supply normalized within five seconds, the under-voltage relay (UVR), a protective device owned and managed internally by the apartments, malfunctioned, cutting off power to the four apartment complexes.

KEPCO added that electricity was restored immediately to two of the complexes right after the blackout, and recovery was completed for the remaining complexes at around 8:20 p.m.
