Given an alternator and an LR3 controller, with the engine running, will 

the alternator shut down if the battery master is switched off?



I'm guessing that the alternator will continue to function normally 

since it's still self-exciting the field line.  Shutting down the 

alternator would require pulling the field breaker.



Is that correct?



Thanks
