Narrative:

We pushed back from gate on schedule and taxied out to runway 31. The ground controller was busy -- blocked xmissions. We started engine on schedule before departure. We got the clearance for takeoff as we taxied into position on runway 31. As I applied takeoff power and started the takeoff roll, flight engineer called #1 and #3 bus tie breaker trip, the aircraft speed was about 10-15 mph. I aborted the takeoff to deal with the problem on the ground. As we communicated with ground control, flight engineer had pulled the checklist, paralleled the generators, and advised me that all indications looked normal. We completed the checklist and departed to miami. All indications at all times were normal. All indications during the flight were normal. I did not make an entry. I think it would have been a good idea to have made an information-to-maintenance entry.

Title: ABORTED TKOF.

Narrative: WE PUSHED BACK FROM GATE ON SCHEDULE AND TAXIED OUT TO RWY 31. THE GND CTLR WAS BUSY -- BLOCKED XMISSIONS. WE STARTED ENG ON SCHEDULE BEFORE DEP. WE GOT THE CLRNC FOR TKOF AS WE TAXIED INTO POS ON RWY 31. AS I APPLIED TKOF PWR AND STARTED THE TKOF ROLL, FE CALLED #1 AND #3 BUS TIE BREAKER TRIP, THE ACFT SPD WAS ABOUT 10-15 MPH. I ABORTED THE TKOF TO DEAL WITH THE PROB ON THE GND. AS WE COMMUNICATED WITH GND CTL, FE HAD PULLED THE CHKLIST, PARALLELED THE GENERATORS, AND ADVISED ME THAT ALL INDICATIONS LOOKED NORMAL. WE COMPLETED THE CHKLIST AND DEPARTED TO MIAMI. ALL INDICATIONS AT ALL TIMES WERE NORMAL. ALL INDICATIONS DURING THE FLT WERE NORMAL. I DID NOT MAKE AN ENTRY. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE MADE AN INFO-TO-MAINT ENTRY.
