should take over = and I=20 would have time to hit the cross-tie.  I
wouldn't think anything = would=20 reboot?
 
agreed.   but how do you know = it's your=20 alternator that will crap out?
Maybe it's that mouse nest in your = avionics fan=20 that finally fell into the blades and caused it melt down?
or maybe you are elected to be the = 1/5000 guys who=20 actually has a shorted battery?
 
In any event, if you are at 25,000 feet = and you=20 smell something burnt electrical, I would think you are going to = power down=20 with prejudice and ask questions later.
 
assuming it's not the alternator, do = you really=20 want to close that cross tie before you figure out what's going = on?  If you=20 have a shorted battery and you close it you will take out your standby = also=20 (besides making a worse smell)
