First (which it sounds like you already have) make sure Gen and VR are from the same manufacture and compatible, been a long time but different manufactures have different excitation voltage requirements.  

Yes, that was done. GE gen with GE VR while Bendix gen was with Bendix VR.

Thank you all, particularly NATOPS1, for your assistance. The problem has been rectified. We started by ensuring that there was no known short in the electrical lines. Thereafter, we replaced the voltage regulator, generator control panel and, most importantly, the #2 contractor. We carried out engine ground run and there was no more burning of the voltage regulator.
