The key parameter in protective grounding is to maintain a low grounding resistance value all year round. Low grounding resistance ensures as low as possible touch voltages in fault conditions.

A preferable target value for low resistance safety grounding is below 10 Ω. In some soil types, this is challenging and expensive to achieve.
