## Discrepancy

IN CRUISE, PILOT NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT GENERATOR ANNUNCIATOR WAS ON AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE RIGHT AMMETER.  THE GENERATOR WOULD NOT COME ONLINE AND THE GENERATOR WAS SWITCHED OFF.  THERE WAS NO FURTHER EVENTS AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  AFTER EXTENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING, A BROKEN WIRE WAS DISCOVERED OFF THE RIGHT OVERLOAD SENSOR.  THE WIRE WAS REPAIRED AND SYSTEM TESTED SERVICEABLE.
