RV10: IFR | Alternator Failure

After a smooth takeoff and a gentle climb, the yaw damper trips the circuit breaker as soon as we pulled the prop back. After trying to reset the breaker it pops again followed by the roll servo also tripping the breaker. After shedding the load the breakers the current draw on the main bus begins to act erratic. We switched to the backup alternator and everything stabilized. Even though we were IFR we had VMC conditions and decided to continue the flight back to home base. Upon landing we switched over to the primary alternator and it was no longer outputting any voltage (at least higher than battery voltage).
