Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp
Stakeless earth ground loop and ac leakage current clamp for fast, safe indoor/outdoor earth ground resistance and ac leakage current tests.
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.
The Fluke 1630-2 FC Stakeless Earth Ground Clamp is the kind of high-quality, rugged tool you expect from Fluke. Heavy-duty clamp
jaw stays in alignment and in calibration even in every day, on-the-job industrial environments.
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.
FLUKE CONNECT© WIRELESS SYSTEM
The 1630-2 FC supports the Fluke Connect© Wireless System (may not be available in all regions). Fluke Connect© wirelessly connects the clamp with an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app shows the ground resistance measurements on your smartphone or tablet display. You can save these measurements, GPS location from your phone and images to Fluke Connect Cloud
storage and share with your team.
