The Fluke 1630 Earth Ground Clamp Meter is able to measure ground loop resistances - using the Stakeless testing method.  This test technique eliminates the dangerous, and time consuming activity of disconnecting parellel grounds, as well as the process of finding suitable locations for auxiliary ground stakes.  You can also perform earth ground tests in places you have not considered before:  inside buildings, on power pylons or anywhere you don't have access to soil.

With the Stakeless testing method, the Fluke 1630 Earth Ground Clamp Meter is placed around the earth ground rod or the connecting cable.  No earth ground stakes are used at all.  A known voltage is induced by one half of the clamp and the current is measured by the other half.  The tester automatically determines the ground loop resistance at this grounding connection.  Gone are the days of spending time placing and connecting stakes for each ground rod on your system - a major time saver.

What's Included:

  • Rugged carrying case with shoulder strap
  • Resistance test loop
  • 9 V battery
  • User's manual in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese

The Bottom Line:

Full Review

  • A wide ground loop resistance range, from 0.025 Ω to1500 Ω, to satisfy all requirements
  • Large jaw opening of 35 mm (1.38 in) for tests on ground conductors and/or equipotential bus bars
  • Measurement of ground leakage current, from 0.2 mA to 1000 mA, without needing to disconnect - ideal for system troubleshooting
  • Wide ac current measurement range from 0.2 A to 30 A allows one instrument for multiple applications
  • User-defined HI / LO Alarm limits, for rapid measurement evaluation
  • Handy ‘display hold’ button for capturing readings in hard-to-reach places
  • Time saving memory function automatically records and stores measured values
  • Automatic self calibration ensures correct measurement every time
  • Overload protection: 200 A
  • Carrying case and resistance test loop included
  • ≥ 8 hours battery life (continuous operation)
