## Discrepancy

(CAN) SCHEDULED A CHECK INSPECTION, DURING A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE LT DC CONTACTOR PANEL SIGNS OF OVERHEATING WERE OBSERVED ON THE OUTGOING TERMINAL & WIRE OF CURRENT LIMITER, PN ANL300.  THIS CURRENT LIMITER IS FOR THE APU STARTER GENERATOR CIRCUIT & IS PART OF STC SA01-110 CANADIAN APPROVAL NUMBER & US APPROVAL SA2405CE.  IT APPEARS THAT A POOR CRIMP ON THE WIRE CAUSED THE OVERHEAT CONDITION.  ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT LIMITER OVERHEATED IT DID NOT BLOW.
