Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp

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. Stay on line—identify ground loop resistance without the need to disconnect then reconnect the earth electrode from the system. The Fluke 1630-2 FC Stakeless Earth Ground Clamp is the kind of high-quality, rugged tool you expect from Fluke. Heavy-duty clamp jaw stays in alignment and in calibration even in every day, on-the-job industrial environments.

AC LEAKAGE CURRENT MEASUREMENT Identify ac leakage currents without dis-connecting the earth ground stake from the grounding system–ideal for system troubleshooting.

RUGGED Heavy-duty clamp jaw stays in alignment and in calibration even in every day, on-the-job industrial environments.

LOGGING MEASUREMENTS The earth ground clamp saves time by automatically recording data at pre-set intervals and saves up to 32,760 mea-surements in memory at the set logging interval. Saves time by recording and stor-ing measured values.

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 leak-age current measurement.

The 1630-2 FC clamp measures earth ground loop resistances for multi-grounded systems using the dual-clamp jaw. This test technique eliminates the dangerous and time-consuming activity of disconnecting parallel grounds, as well as the process of finding suitable locations for auxiliary test stakes. You can also perform ground tests in places that were previously difficult: inside buildings, on power pylons or anywhere you don’t have access to soil to place auxiliary test stakes. - With this test method, a two-process measurement is made around the earth ground wire or bus bar using the specially-designed jaw of the 1630-2 FC clamp. Auxiliary test stakes are not used at all. A known voltage is induced by the source in the clamp, and the current is measured by the sensor in the clamp. The tester auto-matically determines the earth loop resistance for this section of the earthing system.

Preventive maintenance simplified - Save time and improve the reliability of your maintenance data by wirelessly syncing measurements using the Fluke Connect system.

• Eliminate data-entry errors by saving measurements directly from the tool and associating them with the work order, report or asset record.
• Maximize uptime and make confident maintenance decisions with data you can trust and trace.
• Access baseline, historical and current measurements by asset.
• Move away from clipboards, notebooks and multiple spreadsheets with a wireless one-step measurement transfer.
• Share your measurement data using ShareLiveTM video calls and emails.
• The 1630-2 FC is part of a growing system of connected test tools and equipment maintenance software. Visit the website to learn more about the Fluke Connect system.
