Unsafe Condition
Power feeder wire bundle chafing against the number six auxiliary slat track, causing electrical wires in the bundle to arc, which damaged both the auxiliary slat track and power feeder wires. Arcing could be a possible ignition source for leaked flammable fluids, leading to a fire, and could also result in a loss of power from the generator connected to the power feeder wire bundle, leading to a loss of systems and reduced controllability of the airplane.
