Fluke 1623-2 Geo-grounding tester measures electrode-free
Special features
- The Fluke 1623-2 Geo-grounding tester measures electrode-free
- Research has shown that up to 15 percent of power quality problems are related to poor grounding.
- Fluke's new grounding testers identify poorly grounded systems, thereby helping to increase uptime.
- The Fluke 1623-2 Geo-grounding tester helps technicians and electricians comply with electrical norms, technical standards, and local regulations.
- This ensures that in the event of lightning strikes or mains voltage spikes, current can find a safe path to the ground.
- The Fluke 1623-2 Geo-grounding tester can measure loop resistances in grounding systems using only current clamps.
- In this test method, two current clamps are placed around the grounding rod and each clamp is connected to the tester.
- No ground electrodes are used.
- One current clamp induces a known, fixed voltage and the current is then measured by the other current clamp.
- The tester then automatically determines the resistance of the grounding rod.
- This measurement method only works if a connected grounding system is present for the building or structure being tested, but this is usually the case.
- If there is only one ground connection, as is the case with many homes, the electrodeless method does not yield an acceptable value and the potential drop test method must be used.
- With an electrodeless measurement, the grounding rod does not need to be disconnected.
- As a result, the connected grounding system remains intact during the measurement.
- The time-consuming placement and Connecting electrodes for each grounding rod to the system is a thing of the past; a significant time saving.
- You can also perform grounding tests in locations that were previously unsuitable, namely inside buildings, on high-voltage pylons, and anywhere you do not have access to the ground.
- The Fluke 1623-2 is a unique grounding tester that can perform grounding measurements in all four ways: 3- and 4-pole dropout measurement (using electrodes) 4-pole soil resistance test (using electrodes)
- Selective test (using 1 clamp meter and electrodes)
- Electrodeless test (using only 2 clamp meters)
- Furthermore, the Fluke 1623-2 is easy to use.
- For each measurement, the tester indicates which electrodes or clamp meters need to be connected.
- The large rotary switch can even be used when wearing gloves.
- The Fluke The 1623-2 is rated IP56 for outdoor use.
- Data storage and transfer via USB.
