By placing two clamps around the earth ground rod and connecting them to the tester, the device induces a fixed voltage via one clamp and measures the current with the other. The tester then automatically calculates the earth ground rod’s resistance.This method is suitable for bonded earth ground systems, commonly found in most buildings or structures. However, it is unsuitable for systems with only one path to ground (e.g., many residential setups), where the Fall-of-Potential method should be used instead.Key advantages of stakeless testing include:Maintaining the bonded earth ground system during testing, eliminating the need to disconnect rods.Significantly reducing setup time by avoiding the placement and connection of stakes.Allowing earth ground testing in previously inaccessible locations, such as inside buildings or on power pylons.The Most Complete TesterThe Fluke 1623-2 is a versatile tool, capable of performing all four types of earth ground measurements:3- and 4-Pole Fall-of-Potential Testing (using stakes).4-Pole Soil Resistivity Testing (using stakes).Selective Testing (using one clamp and stakes).Stakeless Testing (using two clamps only).
