Fluke 1630 – Ground Resistance Meter

Fluke 1630 – Ground Resistance Meter

Key Features:

  • Stakeless earth ground loop resistance testing
  • Measures ground resistance from 0.025 Ω to 1500 Ω
  • Measures ground leakage current from 0.2 mA to 1000 mA
  • Measures AC current from 0.2 A to 30 A
  • Automatic data storage with user-defined HI/LO alarm limits

The Fluke 1630 Ground Resistance Meter provides fast and convenient earth ground testing without disconnecting ground rods or installing auxiliary stakes. Fluke designed this clamp-style tester for electricians, utility technicians, and maintenance professionals who need efficient grounding system verification.

The Fluke 1630 uses a stakeless testing method that measures ground loop resistance directly through the grounding conductor. As a result, technicians can perform tests in locations where traditional stake-based methods are difficult or impractical.

The instrument measures ground resistance from 0.025 Ω to 1500 Ω and ground leakage current from 0.2 mA to 1000 mA. It also measures AC current up to 30 A, providing additional troubleshooting capability during inspections.

Its 35 mm jaw opening accommodates a wide range of grounding conductors and equipotential bonding connections. In addition, user-defined HI/LO alarm limits help technicians evaluate measurements quickly in the field.

The display hold function captures readings in hard-to-reach locations, while automatic self-calibration helps maintain measurement accuracy. The built-in memory function also stores measurement results, reducing manual record keeping.

With overload protection up to 200 A, a rugged portable design, and battery life of more than eight hours, the Fluke 1630 is well suited to demanding industrial and utility environments.

For professionals who require fast, non-intrusive earth ground testing, the Fluke 1630 provides a practical solution for ground resistance measurement, leakage current testing, and preventative maintenance programmes.
