In muscle properties section there are two options "activation 1 and 2"(parameter used for time constant in ramping up of muscle force) by default it was around 7 and 1.35.How much maximum value can I give to it, so that it doesn't reaches some unrealistic value?

It looks like you are using the Schutte muscle model. Please see the literature that describes this model---for example:
Schutte et al., "Improving the efficacy of electrical stimulation-induced leg cycle ergometry: an analysis based on a dynamic musculoskeletal model", https://doi.org/10.1109/86.242425.
