anywhere. Quickly and easily.
The Fluke 1630 Earth Ground Clamp is able to measure
ground loop resistances—using the Stakeless testing method.
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
ground stakes. You can also perform earth ground tests in
places you have not considered before: inside buildings, on
power pylons or anywhere you don’t have access to soil.
Ground clamp is placed around the earth ground rod or
the connecting cable. No earth ground stakes are used at
all. A known voltage is induced by one half of the clamp
and the current is measured by the other half. The tester
automatically determines the ground loop resistance at this
grounding connection. Gone are the days of spending time
placing and connecting stakes for each earth ground rod on
your system—a major time saver.

What is ground, and what
does it do?
The NEC, National Electrical Code,
defines a ground as a “conducting
connection, whether intentional or
accidental between an electrical
circuit or equipment and the earth, or
to some conducting body that serves
in place of the earth.”
it is actually two different subjects,
earth grounding and equipment
grounding. Earth grounding is an
intentional connection from a circuit
conductor usually the neutral to a
ground electrode placed in the earth.
Equipment grounding is to ensure
that operating equipment within a
structure is properly grounded.
are required to be separate except
for a connection between the two
systems to prevent differences in
potential from a possible flashover
from a lightning strike. The purpose
of a ground besides the protection
of people, plants and equipment
is to provide a safe path for the
dissipation of fault currents, lightning
strikes, static discharges, EMI and
RFI signals and interference.
