Fluke Earth Ground Testers speed verification of reliable grounding of electrical equipment

New tools can save up to 50 percent of set up and tear down time while helping solve power quality problems

Fluke Corporation introduces the 1623-2 and 1625-2 Earth Ground Testers with advanced features and accessories that speed verification of a reliable connection to earth for grounded electrical systems, helping solve power quality problems and lowering the risk of shock to users. New world-class accessory reels can save up to 50 percent of set up and tear down time compared to existing wire reels.

Studies have shown that as much as 15 percent of utility-based power quality problems are related to poor earth grounding. Fluke’s new Earth Ground Testers identify poorly grounded systems, helping increase uptime.

The new Earth Ground Testers help engineers and electricians meet electrical codes, engineering standards, and local regulations to ensure that in the event of a lightning strike or utility overvoltage current will find a safe path to earth. They perform all four types of earth ground measurements: 3- and 4-pole fall-of-potential, 4-pole soil resistivity, selective testing, and stakeless testing.

“Fluke is always keen to update its technology to make the work of our customers safer, faster and more efficient. The New Earth Ground Testers are advanced in terms of delivering more accurate measurements; storing more information, and lowering the risk accidents resulting from electrical mishaps,” said Steve Hood, General Manager, Fluke Middle East, Africa and Turkey.
