The voltage regulator doesn't just regulate voltage on the 2-brush B-circuit type generators. It has the cut out pole to bring the generator on line, it has the voltage regulator pole, and it has a current limiter pole to keep it from over amping. If there are no problems with the load devices such as bad heater motors or shorts to ground causing circuit breakers to pop then it is likely a problem with the generator control unit (voltage regulator).

Don't be afraid to start a new thread. Bringing up the old ones can get confusing.
