Propulsion is diesel-electric which means that all engine-generators are kept at same revolutions and share their power on a common bus.
When one engine breaks down, the others can get overloaded if users other than propulsion are not switched-off quickly enough (automatic).
overloaded engines fall down in revolutions and are shut-off the common bus automatically.
