Section IV. MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
5-6. Power Cable Repair. The power plant cables are repaired by resoldering or replacing loose or
damaged contacts inside the connector. A soldered contact can be unsoldered and a new one installed in its
place. If, however, the damaged contact is crimped onto the wire, or if the wire is broken, the contact must be cut
off. When one wire in the cable has been cut or broken, all wires must be cut to the same length and new
contacts soldered on each. Refer to TB SIG 222 and TM 55-1500-323-25.
