EC (electrical conductivity) is an arbitrary number related to the electrical resistance of a nutrient solution, as opposed to PPM (parts per million), which gives you a more realistic idea of the actual content of ionic compounds (salts of certain nutrient elements such as N, P & K) in an aqueous solution.
1.0EC = 700ppm (usually).
