Fluke 1630
Earth Ground Clamp Meter
Earth Ground loop resistance measurements
for commercial, industrial, and utility applications
The clamp-on ground testing technique used by
the Fluke 1630 simplifies ground loop testing and
enables non-intrusive leakage current measurement.
The compact and rugged design makes the Fluke
1630 easy to use in small places and harsh environ-
ments, while the "Display-Hold" and the continuity test-
ing with an audible alarm function, ensures convenience
in use. The novel technique means that earth ground
loop testing and continuity testing can be completed
without breaking the circuit.

    Stakeless testing system Applications The Fluke 1630 uses the Stakeless testing method,  • which eliminates the need to disconnect parallel    Earth Ground loop testing in various installations  - for example, high voltage pylons, buildings, cell  ground rods and find suitable locations for  phone substations, RF transmitters, etc. placing auxiliary ground stakes. This saves time  •   Inspection of lightning protection systems and enables users such as industrial and utility  electricians, and field service electricians and  •   Leakage current measurement contractors, to perform earth ground loop tests  in locations where it is not possible to use other  techniques, such as inside buildings or on power  pylons.  With the Stakeless testing method, earth  ground stakes are no longer necessary.  The Fluke  1630 Earth Ground Clamp is placed around the  earth ground rod or the connecting cable. 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.  General specifications Operating error Refers to the operating temperature range and is guaranteed  for 2 years -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F )  Storage temp. range Reference temp.
