I do have a crowbar type circuit breaker poper for the field coil. I am told by some that interrupting the field voltage may not disable the alternator (internal regulator), but if I pull the field coil CB the voltage drops from 14 volts to around 12.8 volts (battey voltage level) and my alternator low voltage light comes on. So with the alternator I have killing voltage to the field coil does appear to cut alternator output. Your milage may vary.
