Here's another angle...not sure of the alternator design but...The brushes could be on the way out. Only just touching the slip rings... then when the fans come on they create a large current draw and the tiny arcing gets bigger. If you can remove the brush holder have a look at the slip rings. If they look burned up. there's your problem.
