FLUKE 1623-2 GEO Earth Ground Resistance Meter
The FLUKE 1623-2 GEO Earth Ground Resistance Meter is an essential tool for electricians, engineers, and technicians who need to ensure safe, reliable, and properly grounded electrical systems. Poor grounding can lead to unexpected equipment failures, safety hazards, and costly downtime. With the FLUKE 1623 GEO, you can easily test and monitor grounding systems to detect potential problems before they cause serious damage.
Why Earth Ground Testing Matters
Grounding systems are designed to protect people and electrical equipment from faults. But over time, harsh soil conditions—such as high moisture, salt content, and elevated temperatures—can corrode ground rods and their connections. Even if the grounding system was originally installed with low earth resistance, these conditions can degrade performance.
Regular testing with a high-quality earth resistance test meter like the FLUKE 1623 ensures that your system remains safe and effective. The FLUKE 1623-2 GEO helps identify hidden issues and prevents dangerous faults that could otherwise go unnoticed.
What Makes the FLUKE 1623-2 GEO Unique?
The FLUKE 1623 GEO stands out as a professional-grade earth ground resistance tester capable of performing all four common types of ground testing:
- 3- and 4-pole fall-of-potential measurements (with stakes)
- 4-pole soil resistivity testing (ideal as a soil resistivity tester)
- Selective testing using one clamp and stakes
- Stakeless testing using two clamps
This versatility makes it one of the most reliable and flexible instruments on the market for earth ground resistance tester applications.
Key Features of the FLUKE 1623-2 GEO
✔️ Complete ground testing capability – Measures all four major types of earth resistance
✔️ Stakeless testing – Ideal for use in areas where placing ground stakes isn’t possible
✔️ Soil resistivity testing – Works as both a soil resistance tester and earth resistivity tester
✔️ High accuracy and speed – Get fast, reliable readings in demanding field conditions
✔️ USB data storage – Easily store and transfer test results via USB
✔️ IP56-rated – Built tough for outdoor and industrial use
✔️ Professional accessories – Speeds up setup and testing times
✔️ Comes with a durable carrying case
How Stakeless Testing Works
One of the standout features of the FLUKE 1623-2 is its ability to perform stakeless testing using just two clamps. This makes it incredibly convenient in urban settings or where physical stakes cannot be used.
To run this test, simply clamp both sensors around the grounding rod. One clamp induces a fixed voltage, and the second measures the current. From these values, the earth ground resistance tester calculates the resistance of the grounding rod—no digging or driving stakes into the ground required.
This method is not only faster, but it also minimises site disruption and is perfect for retesting existing installations.
The FLUKE GEO Series: More Than Just One Model
While the FLUKE 1623 GEO is ideal for most applications, the FLUKE GEO range includes other models such as:
- FLUKE 1625-2 GEO Earth Ground Resistance Meter – Includes additional features for increased testing accuracy and flexibility
Whether you’re doing simple ground resistance testing or complex soil resistivity analysis, there’s a FLUKE GEO model to suit your needs.
Designed for Field Professionals
Built to work reliably in demanding conditions, the FLUKE 1623 is perfect for:
- Utility maintenance teams
- Construction site inspections
- Electrical safety audits
- Industrial equipment maintenance
- Remote or hard-to-access locations
Thanks to its IP56-rated casing and rugged build, it’s ready for the field—rain or shine.
