Fluke 1623 Earth Ground Tester GEO

The Fluke 1623 is a simple to use earth ground tester which performs all four types of earth ground measurement.   It not only measures ground resistance by the conventional ‘fall of potential test’ but allows you to save time using ‘selective’ and ‘stakeless’ methods.

‘Selective’ testing allows extra safety as it does not require the electrode under test to be disconnected.

The ‘stakeless’ method allows you to clamp two current transformers (probes) to the ground conductor for fast ground connection testing.  This method requires no ground stakes or the disconnection of ground rods.

Earth ground resistance and soil resistivity should be measured when:

• Designing earth ground systems
• Installing new ground system and electrical equipment
• Periodically testing ground and lighting protection systems
• Installing large electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgears and machines, etc

Features:

• One-button measurement concept
• 3- and 4-Pole Fall of Potential (standard earth ground testing using two ground stakes)
• 3- and 4-Pole earth ground measurement
• 4-Pole soil resistivity testing
• 2-Pole resistance measurement AC
• Selective testing – without disconnecting ground rods, a technician can measure ground resistance using a combination of stakes and a clamp (1 clamp)
• Stakeless testing – innovative solution using only clamps, instead of ground stakes, to measure earth ground loop resistance (2 clamps)
• Measuring frequency 128Hz
• Dust/water resistance: IP56
• Safety rating: CAT II 300 V
• Two year warranty

Fluke 1623 included accessories:

• Protective holster
• 2 test leads
• 2 alligator clips
• 1 shorting jumper
• Batteries
• Users manual
