Description

The Fluke 1621 is an easy-to-use earth ground tester. The first line of defense in detecting reliable ground
connections, the unit features basic ground testing methods including 3-pole Fall-of-Potential as well as
2-pole ground resistance. Its convenient size, rugged holster, and large, clear LCD display make it an ideal field earth tester, for most work environments. With a simple user interface and intuitive functionality, the Fluke 1621 is a handy tool for electrical contractors, utility test engineers, and earth ground specialists.

• 3-pole Fall-of-Potential earth testing for basic measurements
• 2-pole resistance measurements for added versatility
• Easily capture values with single-button operation
• Ensure accurate measurements with automatic ‘noise’ voltage detection
• Hazardous voltage warning offers increased user protection
• Clearly read and record data with a large, backlit display
• Rugged holster and design for tough work environments
• Portable size allows for easy transportation
• Instantly be alerted to measurements outside of your set limit, when you use the adjustable limit setting
