A 100A fuse? That sounds like alternator output instead of field current. Most articles warn that disconnecting the output can damage the regulator.
On the dual excitation routes: I've read that some alternators are self exciting. When I disconnected the field current from my '96 GM alternator it stopped putting out juice. So I believe it does not have a secondary field current source. (lucky for me, as that makes it easy to control)
