I have seen many a fusable link in an alternator output wire. How do
you fry electrical goods with a proper fuse in place? You don't. I
thought there was a voltage regulator. That doesn't protect the
alternator?

No, the normal alternator regulator simply controls the output of the
alternator in reference to battery voltage. Low battery voltage high
output, high voltage low output.
