Fluke 1621 [9/26] Earth ground tester

1621 Earth Ground Tester

Introduction

The Fluke 1621 Earth Ground Tester (referred throughout as the “Tester”) is

an easy to use instrument for measuring the resistance to earth ground of a

specified earth ground electrode. The Tester can perform a 3-pole fall-of-

potential test conforming to IEC/EN 61557-5. The Tester can also perform ac

resistance testing.

To further simplify and increase the probability of an accurate measurement in

the 3-pole mode, the Tester measures the resistance of the probe and auxiliary

electrode to verify that they are within prescribed limits. The Tester also tests

for stray interference voltage (noise) and indicates if the value is too high to

take a proper measurement.

The Tester features a lighted LCD display, automatic shut-off, and a limits

mode for setting maximum resistance readings.

This instrument is manufactured in compliance with quality assurance system

EN ISO 9001. Compliance with current applicable EMC regulations is

documented by the attached P sign.
