Description
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 environments, while the “Display-Hold” and the continuity testing 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.
The Fluke 1630 features a wide ground loop resistance range from 0.025? to 1500?. The large jaw opening of 35mm (1.38 in) affords tests on ground conductors and/or equipotential bus bars. The measurement of ground leakage current from 0.2 mA to 1000 mA can be taken without needing to disconnect makes the Fluke 1630 ideal for system troubleshooting.
The Fluke 1630 uses the stakeless testing method, which eliminates the need to disconnect parallel ground rods and find suitable locations for placing auxiliary ground stakes. This saves time and enables users such as industrial and utility electricians, and field service electricians and 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 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 the grounding connection.
The Fluke 1630 ships complete with carrying case with strap, resistance test loop and user manual.
