Fluke 1623-2 Basic GEO Earth Ground Tester Kit
FOR EACH TEST, THE TESTERS INFORM YOU WHICH STAKES or CLAMPS NEED TO BE CONNECTED AND THE LARGE ROTARY SWITCH CAN BE USED EVEN WITH A GLOVED HAND
INSTRUMENT FEATURES
The Fluke 1623-2 earth ground tester is able to measure earth ground loop resistances using only clamps. With this test method, two clamps are placed around the earth ground rod and each are connected to the tester. No earth ground stakes are used at all. A known, fixed voltage is induced by one clamp and the current is measured using the second clamp. Then the tester automatically determines the resistance of the earth ground rod.
With Stakeless testing, the earth ground rod does not need to be disconnected - leaving the bonded earth ground system intact during test. Gone are the days of spending time placing and connecting stakes for each earth ground rod on your system - a major time saver. You can also perform earth ground tests in places you’ve not considered before: inside buildings, power pylons, or anywhere you don’t have access to soil.
