It is critical for facilities to have grounded electrical systems so that in the event of a lightning strike or utility overvoltage, currently find a safe path to earth. Fluke Earth Ground Tester is easy-to-use equipment. For ground resistance testing, the equipment is the first line of defence in detaching reliable ground connections. The unit features basic ground testing methods including three-pole Fall-of-Potential as well as two-pole ground resistance tests.
Fluke Combo Kits puts wireless test tools, not on the body, near live electrical panels. It improves safety and efficiency with this combo kit. Its convenient size, rugged holster, and large, clear LCD make it an ideal field earth ground tester, for most electrical grounding work environments. With a simple user interface and intuitive functionality, the Fluke is a handy grounding tool for electrical contractors, utility test engineers, and earth ground specialists.
How is Fluke Combo Kits Efficient?
Having the right tool for the job is essential. Having all the right tools when one needs them is even better. The Fluke earth ground tester can measure earth ground loop resistances using only clamps.
With this test method, two clamps are placed around the earth ground rod and each is connected to the tester. No earth ground stakes are used at all. A known, fixed voltage is induced by one clamp and the current is measured using the second clamp. Then the tester automatically determines the resistance of the earth ground rod.
Conclusion
This method only works if a bonded earth ground system exists for the building or structure under test, but most are. If there is only one path to ground, such as at many residential applications, the Stakeless method will not provide an acceptable value and the Fall-of-Potential test method must be used. With Stakeless testing, the earth ground rod does not need to be disconnected – leaving the bonded earth ground system intact during test.
