is there possible to change the CT (Current Transformer)?

I need to measure the current passing through the copper busbar. But its dimensions are larger than the diameter of the current transformer.
Is there a solution to replace the current trans with a larger diameter one?

I see no reason why this should be an issue. Just a couple of points.
- If I remember correctly, the CT that comes with the PZEM is a 10Ohm 100A 1000/1 transformer. Your new transformer should have similar specifications in order to work well.
- You are unlikely to get exactly equivalent CT, thus your current values are going to be skewed. Luckily, the values should be linearly proportional. You must calibrate the sensor with a known Current measurement probe to find the coefficient. Then it will be just a question of multiplying the current, power and energy by this coefficient.
Hope this helps.
