Just for future reference; if that happens again to anyone, I would suggest
pulling over immediately and disconnecting/disabling the generator. The
generator is still working at that point, so it may be OK or just a simple
repair job required; but putting out 30+ amps will quickly fry it (as Bob
learned the hard way) beyond reasonable repair.
It's only happened to me once, the problem proved to be stuck contacts on
the regulator relay. A couple of passes with a contact burnishing tool
(yes, I do carry one in my on-board tool kit) got it working again until I
was able to source a replacement control box.
