'Guess I don't quite understand the scenario of why the
regulator, which supplies the excitation to the alternator field, would get
disconnected if the battery post disconnected. There would have to be some
interruption in the circuit from the battery to the regulator. As long as the
alternator is still connected to the buss which supplies the regulator, the
alternator should maintain regulation, even without the battery connected to the
buss, as long as there is some load, which could even be the alternator field
through the regulator. This is why I had recommended in an earlier post that the
regulator's field supply connection be made to the alternator side of an
alternator circuit breaker, if present, to prevent voltage runaway. Please
expand on the scenario! Thanks
