## Discrepancy

(CAN) 5 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF, CREW NOTED BOTH AC BUSS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM THE RT FUEL QUANTITY GAUGE.  THE NR 1 AC BUSS CIRCUIT BREAKER HAD TRIPPED.  THEY TURNED THE INVERTER SWITCH OFF AND CONTINUED TO DESTINATION AND LANDED SAFELY.  REPLACED THE RT FUEL QUANTITY INDICATOR.
