Will never damage alternator voltage regulator. What screws up most regulators is a booster cable car to car jump start especially if the disabled vehicle has a weak starter motor (high amp).
Charging vehicle sees a huge load then sudden stop
"Load Dump" City
Look it up with Google.
In my battery bank I have a Belden 500 amp charger, a P&S 100 amp charger, a Trace 60 amp charger and a Ford 6-G 145 amp alternator mounted on the Kubota.
When the gen is stopped and the 5-minute timer starts to cool down the turbo it drops the alternator off-line. Then the chargers drop off line one by one via the DPDT /essex relays. The NC contacts feed the Trace inverter with shore power. Restoration of shore power allows for a five minute delay then another 5 minute cool down. That's when the 3,000 CFM rotary fan over-rides the 110F autostart
