Only if you run it to the source side of the switch.
If you kill the main switch, you kill engine power.
You kill engine power, you kill the alt.
If I wire the alt. to the switched side of the main ( that feeds the fuse box), the engine will still run if the main disconnect is off because the alt. is still feeding 12v to the fuse box while the engine is still running.
Thus the location of the alt. wire on the source side of the main switch, not the fuse box side.
