Fluke 1625-2 GEO Earth Ground Tester

                

Ground or earth, typically between an electrical circuit and the earth, is a conducting link. Earth grounding is a connection to a ground electrode or surface situated in the earth from a circuit conductor, typically the neutral one. Grounding of equipment guarantees accurate grounding of functioning equipment or a circuit.

Fluke GEO earth ground tester is a unique and powerful tool that is calibrated according to industrial standards. This tool helps test the ground spots that are hard to reach, are indoors, and fully paved.

Unique Features:

This tool allows you to measure the earth's ground loop resistance with only clamps. Earlier tools are needed to disconnect and then reconnect to electrodes from the system.

It uses only two clamps placed around the ground rods and are connected back to the device.

An advanced feature, Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) identifies and detects current distortion and determines a frequency of measurement to mitigate its effect, providing a more precise ground value for the earth.

The Fluke 1625-2 provides up to 1500 records with internal memory storage.

Accessible via the USB port for fast data transfer and results viewing

TESTS:

The most useful and liked feature about the Fluke 1625-2 GEO Ground test is that it allows all four types of ground tests as follows:

·         3- and 4-pole fall-of-potential, earth resistance loop testing

·         4-pole soil resistivity testing

·         Single clamp GND rod testing

·         Double clamp GND rod testing

Earthing Ground Resistance Measurement:

Using this tool earth system resistance can be measured along with the geological soil stratum resistivity.

3-Pole & 4-Pole Measurement of Earthing Resistance

The following steps are involved in 3 Pole/ 4 Pole measurements of earthing resistance.

1-      Turn the knob to “RE 3pole” or “Re 4pole” and wire the device according to the instructions on display.

2-      Press “Start Button” and the automated tests will proceed, and results will be displayed on the screen.

3-      Readout measurement R_E.

4-      Using menu, readout values of R_S and R_H.s.
