The lower the resistance you get in the grounding/earth system the better. In offshore a resistance from 1-2 ohm is a good earthing system. In Onshore a miximum of 10ohm is acceptable.

How do you measure the earth resistance?
megger
What is tower footing resistance?
footing resistance is that resistance which could not harm human body while touching tower...and it is calculated by earth resistance tester
What is allowable resistance of the cable in mergers test?
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
Why is grounding important?
Every electrical system should be earthed to get a low resistance path for dissipation of current into the earth. Major accidents take place because of improper equipment earthing or leakage current. Earth fault current directly affect the human safety. Earthing should be measured at regular intervals so as to ensure that the resistance of the earth is maintained minimum. Its main purpose is to minimize the risks of fire and shock hazards.
What reverse resistance reading should diodes have when under test with an ohmmeter?
Reverse resistance should be infinite.
What is the difference between earth resistance and insulation resistance?
insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm
What is the difference between insulation resistance and earth resistance?
insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm
What should be the resistance value of healthy earth pit?
what is the resistance value of a healthy earth pit
What is the resistance between phase and earth?
You measure at a socket, you should measure well less than one ohm resistance between earth and neutral. .my answer: theoritically it is zero
The resistance of earth wire is?
The recommended resistance that one should strive to obtain is zero.
What should the resistance on a kwikthermT105 thermostat be to know if it is good or faulty?
Resistance power of 20 amps indicate whether it is good or faulty.
Why must the resistance of an earth wire to an appliance be very low?
since it is a good conductor
Which instrunment is used to measure the resistance to earth?
A normal ohmmeter (or multimeter with this feature) should do it.
What are the ratings and certificates for Earth the Resistance - 2014?
Earth the Resistance - 2014 is rated/received certificates of: UK:15
How we get 0.5 ohm resistance for Earth pit?
Type your answer here... how to get ohm in earth pit
Does a good conductor has a high resistance?
No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
How did you check the electical resistance of the headlight earth connection?
Ohmeter connected both ends ground circuit. Usually this circuit very short with minimal resistance due to that. Do you have a good solid ground?
