## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE INSPECTION FOUND THE NR 3 EMERGENCY LIGHT INVERTER WOULD NOT POWER EMERGENCY FLOOR STRIP SECTIONS 2 AND 3.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  FOUND CONNECTOR P8528 NOT FULLY SECURE.  TIGHTENED CONNECTOR AND PERFORMED OPS CHECK OF EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEM IAW EMB 145 AMM 33-50-00.  ALL CHECKS GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
