FEATURES:
AC Leakage Current Measurement – Identify ac leakage currents without disconnecting 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 measurements in memory at the set logging interval. Saves time by recording and storing 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 leakage current measurement

Stakeless earth ground loop and ac leakage current clamp for fast, safe indoor/outdoor earth ground resistance and ac leakage current tests. 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. 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 automatically determines the earth loop resistance for this section of the earthing system.
