I'm working with/simulating permanent-magnet aircraft alternators. The regulator is a diode-mosfet 3-phase bridge rectifier that shorts the alternator windings to regulate the DC out.
Getting a lot of voltage across the alternator windings shouldn't happen in normal use.

sounds like a poor system to me...
I guess it would be great if you were stuck in the middle of nowhere and you needed some power, you could at least hand crank it or build a Gilligan's Island genetor..
Putting that aside. The old magnetic amplifier design can work for that where by you can bias the coils with small amounts of current to ramp up the output.. In this case a 3 phase one..
