Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp

  • 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.
  • AC Leakage Current Measurement: Identify AC leakage without disconnecting your earth ground stake from the grounding system
  • Rugged: Heavy-duty clamp jaw stays in alignment and calibration on tough jobsites
  • Logging measurement: Saves up to 32,760 measurements in memory

Description

The Fluke 1630-2 FC is a digital earth ground clamp meter designed to measure earth ground loop resistance and AC leakage current. It is used to 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.

Key Features:

  • Stakeless measurement: Eliminates the need to disconnect parallel grounds and find suitable locations for auxiliary test stakes.
  • AC leakage current measurement: Identifies AC leakage without disconnecting the earth ground stake from the grounding system.
  • Rugged design: Heavy-duty clamp jaw stays in alignment and calibration even in tough job site conditions.
  • Logging measurements: Saves up to 32,760 measurements in memory at the set logging interval.
  • Alarm threshold: User-defined high/low alarm limits for rapid measurement evaluation.
  • Band-pass filter: Selectable band-pass filter function removes unwanted noise from the AC leakage current measurement.
  • Fluke Connect® Wireless System: Connects the clamp with an app on your smartphone or tablet for data logging, sharing, and analysis.

Benefits:

Fast and safe: Measures earth ground resistance and AC leakage currents without disconnecting parallel grounds.

  • Versatile: Tests grounding components in hard-to-reach spaces.
  • Durable: Withstands tough job site conditions.
  • Efficient: Saves time by automatically recording data at pre-set intervals.
  • Convenient: Connects to the Fluke Connect® Wireless System for easy data management.

Applications:

  • Testing grounding components of equipment in buildings, power pylons, and other structures.
  • Identifying AC leakage currents in grounding systems.
  • Troubleshooting grounding problems.
  • Ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems.

Overall, the Fluke 1630-2 FC is a reliable and versatile tool for testing earth ground resistance and AC leakage current. Its key features and benefits make it an essential tool for electricians, maintenance technicians, and other professionals who need to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems.
