When you consider the alternator is an intregal part of the engine and electrical system the need for a circut breaker becomes unnecessary. Since the alternator is being turned by the crankshaft only a failure in the windings or engine stoppage would cause it to cease functioning. Therefore a switch is unnecessary.
