The Com-Power CGC-255E is a battery-operated comb generator designed as a conducted reference signal source for verifying Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) test setups. The unit generates a series of harmonics from a fundamental frequency, producing a comb of spectral lines that simulate an Equipment Under Test (EUT) generating conducted EMI noise. The CGC-255E offers two user-selectable frequency step sizes — 50 kHz and 250 kHz — with usable output extending to 400 MHz.

The primary application of the CGC-255E is quick verification of conducted emissions test setups. It plugs directly into the EUT power socket of a LISN via its NEMA 15-P interface, with conducted noise output levels close to or above the CISPR 22 limits. Beyond LISN verification, the CGC-255E is also suited to production evaluation of components such as cable shields and filters. Because most EMI labs calibrate LISNs, spectrum analyzers, cables, and connectors only at regular intervals, equipment malfunctions occurring between calibrations can go undetected and produce erroneous test results — the comb generator allows test engineers to perform frequent interim verification of the conducted test setup to assure accurate results.

Important: Frequency step size is user-selectable between 50 kHz and 250 kHz. The CGC-255E exhibits high impedance to external line voltage (AC or DC up to 230 V), allowing it to remain connected while the LISN is energized from an external power source.Important: All specifications are subject to change without notice. All values are typical, unless specified.Important: The CGC-255E has high impedance to the external line voltage, AC or DC up to 230 V, allowing the Comb Generator to be used while the LISNs are connected to an external power source.Important: The standard NEMA three-blade connector plugs directly into any LISN with a matching EUT power socket. It can be attached to any other socket type using a suitable adapter (adapter not included).Recommended pairing: the CGC-255E is designed to plug directly into the EUT power socket of a LISN via its NEMA 15-P interface for conducted emissions test setup verification.
