Automatic paralleling of aircraft A-C generators

THE EVER-increasing complexities of aircraft as dictated by operational and functional requirements make it desirable, if not necessary in certain cases, to relieve the airplane crew of manual control of many functions of aircraft operation. Particularly this is considered to be the case for certain control operations of paralleled a-c power systems. The act of synchronizing and paralleling a-c generators by manual means can require the attention of a crew member when other duties are most demanding of his time and if performed improperly may result in undesirable transients and improper operation of the system.
