## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE, CREW NOTICED HOT ELECTRICAL SMELL IN COCKPIT BELOW THE CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL.  SMELL DISSIPATED AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE.  FOLLOWING AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING IN TOL, MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATED THE ORIGIN OF THE SMELL.  NO CAUSE WAS FOUND AFTER A COMPLETE ENGINE RUN WITH ALL GENERATORS ON LINE.
