Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp, FLUKE-1630-2 FC

Product overview: Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp

The Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp is a portable clamp meter designed to measure earth ground loop resistance in multi-grounded systems. Its dual-clamp jaw testing method eliminates the need to disconnect parallel grounds or locate suitable areas for auxiliary test stakes, helping technicians perform efficient grounding inspections indoors, on power pylons, and in paved locations where soil access is limited. This approach supports safer, faster troubleshooting while helping verify grounding system performance.

Earth ground and leakage current testing

The Fluke 1630-2 FC identifies AC leakage current without disconnecting the earth ground stake from the grounding system, making it useful for system troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. The heavy-duty clamp jaw is built to maintain alignment and calibration in demanding industrial environments. A selectable band-pass filter helps remove unwanted noise from AC leakage measurements, while user-defined high and low alarm thresholds allow rapid evaluation of readings.

Measurement logging and wireless connectivity

Automatic logging records measurements at preset intervals and stores up to 32,760 readings in internal memory, reducing manual documentation and preserving valuable maintenance data. The Fluke 1630-2 FC also supports the Fluke Connect® Wireless System, allowing compatible measurements to be connected to a smartphone or tablet. With Fluke Connect, users can save readings and images to cloud storage, review baseline and historical data by asset, and share information with maintenance teams through ShareLive™ video calls and email, where available by region.

The package includes the Fluke 1630-2 FC Earth Ground Clamp, hard case, loop resistance standard, four AA batteries, safety information guide, and quick reference guide. A one-year limited warranty is included.
