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.
