## Discrepancy

BOS - FLT 4575 - EN ROUTE TO ACK FROM BOS, THE LEFT DC GENERATOR DROPPED OFF LINE AND WOULD NOT RESET.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BOS, LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND A WIRE BROKEN AT THE TERMINAL BLOCK OF THE GENERATOR.  THE WIRE WAS REPAIRED, ALL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
