how to check the earth resistance value& what is the
minimum earth resistance for good earthing sysytem.

Answer Posted / nasir sharif

The earth resistance value can be checked by the use of
earth resistance tester (called megger earth tester). The
best earth resistance should be less than one ohm & ideally resistance is Zero ohm but the
permissible value is less than 5 ohm
