In an industrial environment, are you only using single phase? often
it's 3 phase 415/440 volts (can't remember the exact RMS and tolerance
levels) and you may need to be more aware of wiring regulations...

My local ham repeater group have had good success using field-effect
on their DC (solar + batteries) sites - don't know if they work on AC.

I suspect you may be back to using torrioidal coils around the feeds
(what most of the metering uses anyway) and modern meters will have
either RS485/ethernet/modbus interfaces in most plant rooms - see

Not saying you CAN'T do it with owfs, but it may not be the most
appropriate tool...
