GMR of Two-Layer ACSR Calculator

Calculate the effective Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) of a two-layer ACSR conductor.

Using the formula:
\[ \text{GMR}_{\text{eff}} = \left( \text{GMR}_{\text{steel}}^{n_s} \times R_{\text{alu}}^{n_a} \right)^{\frac{1}{n_s+n_a}} \] where:
\( \text{GMR}_{\text{steel}} \) is the steel core GMR, \( R_{\text{alu}} \) is the effective radius for the aluminum layer, \( n_s \) is the number of steel core elements, and \( n_a \) is the number of aluminum strands.

* Enter values in meters for radii and the counts for elements.
