Narrative:

Immediately after departure; approximately 1;000 ft. Instrument failure presented; followed by failure of other electrical systems. Leveled off bellow controlled airspace using standby instruments. Squawked 7600 and began turn to return to uncontrolled airfield of departure for VFR landing. Troubleshot systems; found number 2 generator inoperative. Reset all electronics and generators. No change. Repeated system reset; generator came online. Restarted electronics; reported issue to ATC. Requested vectors and altitude for safe continuation to home base. Continued to airport; landed safely. Initial troubleshooting on the ground suggests failure of voltage cross limiter. Unknown cause of generator failure. Aircraft sent to maintenance.
