Cutting the power going between the exciter and the field winding is the safest way to cut power output from the big brushless alternators I work on. All the big generators have a small generator built in that powers the main field windings, thats the exciter.
Car alternators use external power, brushes and communtator to excite their field windings, its more compact and cheaper this way.
Its also easy to sever this type of field winding connection.
