Narrative:
On climb out at approximately 6;000 or 7;000 ft; we got a 'rt a/C bus' caution light with the associated lights. We were in icing conditions. We promptly told ATC that we had a problem and would be returning to the field. We did not declare an emergency and were vectored back for the ILS where we landed without incident. This was the 5th time in a seven day period that the same thing had been written up.
