I would use a relay rather than 12' of 12 gage wire but that's up to you....

Impossible ?? Not hardly.... Residual magnetism in the field coil can
give output especially if unloaded.
If regulator pass transistor is shorted, output can go max until
transistor burns open.
An external regulator is usually recommended for A/C applications.
