Maybe I didn't explain it correctly: I'm connecting a current transformer 
and a current voltage transformer (220/9) to the circuit in the scheme. So 
the voltage regulator is receiving 9v (about  12.7 V , but with about 0.6v 
less because of the diode rectifier)

I  don't like this solution, too many things to add...

mmm, do you know if there are any publications of the results of these 
cracks? They might provide me some ideas.
