What is the min and max ohmic value for earthing?..

Answer / r prakash

The whole list of answers is confusing.
No one is telling the correct values for a normal
Industrial machinery which sometimes includes sophisticated
machinery using Computers and electronics circuit.
I want to check the earthing status of some of the Earths I
did about 5 years ago in my factory.
Can someone help me in this.
