We have a LEM HMSR6-SMS instock... not sure why. There is a 30 amp
version. It's more accurate than the Monolithic part and has nice
chunky current leads, but it costs over 2x as much as the Mono part.

We can auto-zero the Monolithic part at powerup, which will help the
accuracy a bit.

I'm designing a plugin to our modular power system, just a board with
eight power relays. Then we figured, let's measure the voltage and
current of each relay too. Featuritus follows. Why not make it a
programmable circuit breaker? Why not a polyphase wattmeter? Somebody
please stop me.
