that hasn't been my experience with the Mitsu units, in either case. The field coil insulation has held up fine to solvent type degreaser, brake cleaner, shellite. And the sealed bearings have been darned near indestructible, even a twice flooded unit wasn't impacted by water or dirt

My observations have been different; no the alternator may not die immediately but they usually do within a few months. There is a reason while most cans of engine degreasers carry a warning to cover the alternator,
distributor and other electrical and electronic parts and avoid spraying it into the face of the alternator. That said, there are now some chlorine and hydrocarbon free degreasers on the market that claim to be electronically safe and cause no damage to electronic parts or bearings e.g Electromax
