Narrative:
Right generator tripped offline while climbing out through FL260. Requested to level at FL300 with ATC. Accomplished amber QRH procedure and the generator reset. Approximately 2 minutes later; the right generator tripped offline again. The amber checklist called for the generator not to be reset a second time. Discussed issue with other pilot and we descended to FL290 and slowed to 250kts to start the APU and regain services. APU never made it through the start sequence because the left generator tripped offline causing an essential power only situation. The essential power only red QRH called for the resetting of both generators. The left generator did not come back online; the right generator did. Identification: cas messages and blank screens.
