Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp Meter

Stakeless earth ground loop and AC leakage current clamp for fast, safe indoor/outdoor earth ground resistance and AC leakage current tests Heavy-duty clamp jaw stays in alignment and in calibration even in every day, on-the-job industrial environments Test the grounding components of equipment in hard- to-reach spaces, including areas that are indoors or fully paved and do not permit driving auxiliary test stakes Stay on line—identify ground loop resistance without the need to disconnect then reconnect the earth electrode from the system Stakeless measurement The 1630-2 FC clamp measures earth ground loop resistances for multi-grounded systems using the dual- clamp jaw This test technique eliminates the dangerous and time-consuming activity of disconnecting parallel grounds, as well as the process of finding suitable locations for auxiliary test stakes You can also perform ground tests in places that were previously difficult: inside buildings, on power pylons or anywhere you don’t have access to soil to place auxiliary test stakes With this test method, a two- process measurement is made around the earth ground wire or bus bar using the specially-designed jaw of the 1630-2 FC clamp Auxiliary test stakes are not used at all A known voltage is induced by the source in the clamp, and the current is measured by the sensor in the clamp The tester automatically determines the earth loop resistance for this section of the earthing system One year warranty
