Re: Parse failure
Usually most of the modern large ones have an automated system that would do it, you normally only use the manual synchometer (or whatever the hell you can call it) as a final manual resort. Though I've seen it set up on at least one class of ship where the manual system takes it's 5v from one of the automated systems, so if that fails you can't join the genny manually either...
It's quite impressive if you bork it completely though - on my work experience they showed me a video of one on a warship that had been hooked up 180 deg out of phase and it ripped the generator of it's mountings...
