1/2 amp is way too high. I also believe your cutout relay is not working properly. If it keeps continuity, it powers the generator to make it like a motor, which just wastes electricity.

If you know what a diode is, a cutout relay does the same function. It's a combination volt and amp powered relay, when the voltage of the generator is high enough it connects, and the current then flowing thru it helps it connect more, so the disconnect voltage is some amount lower than the connect voltage, to reduce wear.
