ENROUTE IN IMC THE ACFT HAD A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE PLT DESCENDED TO VFR CONDITIONS & ELECTED TO LAND AT WEISER ARPT. THE PLT LOWERED THE GEAR ELECTRICALLY BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A GREEN DOWN & LOCKED INDICATION. HE THEN PUMPED THE EMERGENCY EXTENSION HANDLE BUT STILL DID NOT GET A GREEN DOWN & LOCKED INDICATION. THE MAIN GEAR RETRACTED DURING THE LANDING. HAD THE PLT CONTINUED TO MANUALLY PUMP HE WOULD HAVE LOCKED THE GEAR DOWN. THE ALTERNATOR FAN BLADE HAD SEPARATED & EXITED THROUGH THE ENG COWLING. THE RESULTANT VIBRATION CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR GROUND WIRE TO SEPARATE FROM ITS ATTACH POINT CAUSING THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE.
