I'm confused. Why would the flaps go inop because an overvoltage had tripped the alternator offline.
The crowbar only trips the alternator field breaker, nothing else.
When the event occurs, you'll get either or both an LV warning indication and an alternator warning indication. You'll also start seeing a discharge on the ammeter.
So you'd cycle the breaker for the alternator to see if that sorted it out. If it didn't, then you're in the same position you'd be in if your alternator had failed - which is to shed non-essential electrical load and get yourself on the ground.
