Each indicator station provides operators with a visual &#8220;GO \/ NO GO&#8221; reference, informing them if the resistance in the static grounding circuit is low enough (less than 10 ohms) to proceed with the process.  <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-cfb27b3 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"cfb27b3\"><style>.stk-cfb27b3 {background-color:#f5f5f5 !important;padding-top:80px !important;padding-bottom:80px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-cfb27b3:before{background-color:#f5f5f5 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-cfb27b3 {padding-top:60px !important;padding-bottom:60px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-cfb27b3-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-af5be3a\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"af5be3a\"><style>.stk-af5be3a {max-width:1024px !important;min-width:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-af5be3a {max-width:90% !important;min-width:auto !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-af5be3a-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-af5be3a-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-4e721df\" data-block-id=\"4e721df\"><style>.stk-4e721df {margin-bottom:30px !important;}.stk-4e721df-column{--stk-columns-spacing:0px !important;--stk-column-gap:60px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-4e721df {margin-bottom:0px !important;--stk-col-order-1:2 !important;--stk-col-order-2:1 !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-4e721df-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-f846aa8\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"f846aa8\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-f846aa8-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-f846aa8-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a4d4827\" id=\"corem-lam-solorro-in-nus-nostempo\" data-block-id=\"a4d4827\"><style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-a4d4827 {margin-bottom:30px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The image below demonstrates the installation flexibility.
