Hello Vivek,
As I understand your application, you are considering a current sensor such as this:
Here are a few random thoughts for your consideration:
-
There are many smaller solutions if you allow on-board connection. I understand why that may be undesirable.
-
A smaller device may be more susceptible to saturation in the event of an overload. This can lead to undesirable measurements offsets. This older post may help our readers better understand the impact of hysteresis.
-
To reduce BOM line count it may be desirable to use a single device. For lower currents you could instruct the installer to loop two wire turns through the aperture.
Sorry I couldn’t offer a better solution. Hopefully, these ideas may help you converge on a suitable solution.
Best Wishes,

P.S. Tamura provides this brief description of sensor types to mitigate the hysteresis error.
