A. Effectivity

Aircraft Affected:

In-Service: DHC-8 Aircraft Models 401 and 402 Serial Numbers 4001,

4003, 4004, 4006, 4008 thru 4354 & 4356 thru 4366 with AC

Contactor Box P/N 1152148-6 Series 4, -6 Series 5, -6 Series

1 and -6 Series 2 (right nacelle).

Production: A production line check has been accomplished on Aircraft

Serial Numbers 4355 & 4367 thru 4373 to ensure that the

existing AC Contactor Box (ACCB’s) installed on the aircraft

are not subject to the requirements of this SB.

Aircraft Serial Number 4374 and subsequent are fitted with

post-SB configuration ACCB’s.

Spares Affected:

None

B. Reason

Problem: Some operators of the Q400 have reported finding damaged, chaffed or

loose wiring within the right AC Contactor Box P/N 1152148-6 Series 4,

-6 Series 5, -6 Series 1 and -6 Series 2.

A line check at the Bombardier manufacturing facility has discovered

similar issues.

Damaged, chaffed or loose wiring within the AC contactor box could

affect correct operation of:

- associated AC generator

- the windshield heater

- the ice detector

- the AOA vane heater

- the pitot probe heater

- the engine intake heater

- the prop de-ice system

- or possible loss of AC external power.

Solution: Honeywell has prepared and issued Service Bulletin 1152148-24-127

(VSB).

Enclosed VSB 1152148-24-127 gives the instruction to inspect and, rectify

the wiring within the right AC Contactor Box P/N 1152148-6 Series 4, -6

Series 5, -6 Series 1 and -6 Series 2 by adjusting wire routing using

additional nylon cable clamps and improving wire protection using conduit

sleeving.

For additional information refer to the “Description” section in enclosed

VSB 1152148-24-127.
