Grounding testers

Most facilities have grounded electrical systems, so that in the event of a lightning strike or utility overvoltage, current will find a safe path to earth. A ground electrode provides the contact between the electrical system and the earth. To ensure a reliable connection to earth, electrical codes, engineering standards, and local standards often specify a minimum impedance for the ground electrode.

The earth electrode is a key component of the installation, responsible for connecting the electrical circuit to the ground. To ensure an adequate level of safety, international and local technical standards specify minimum impedance values for earth electrodes.

The International Electrical Testing Association recommends testing grounding electrodes every three years to confirm the effectiveness of the grounding system and its compliance with standards.

Fluke grounding testers enable all key measurement methods, including:

  • three- and four-pole potential drop measurement,
  • selectivity measurement,
  • electrode-free measurement,
  • and two-pole measurement.

Thanks to their reliability and high measurement accuracy, Fluke devices are the ideal solution for both ongoing operation and periodic testing of electrical installations.

Fluke earth testers are available from ELTRON, an authorised Fluke distributor. Contact us and choose the perfect solution for your project!
