I agree with admin. In the standard wiring arrangement the only fuse between the reg/rec and the battery is the main fuse which is 30A.

(Unfortunately, I've never come across any information on the actual power rating of the generator itself. But it also makes sense that you want the regulator to be able to supply at least the max 'normal' current that the bikes electrical system might demand, which is up to the main fuse level in theory.)
