Do you wish to know the diameter because you need to pass something of a certain size through a CT?

Do you mean 7.2kW or is it 7200 volts?

There are 2 configurations of how the cable can pass through the CT;

  1. side-by-side (in a line) &,
  1. in trefoil (a triangular formation).

Decide which configuration you want & then calculate the external limits of the cable group.

A side-by-side configuration will require a rectangular slot in the CT & a trefoil configuration will require a circular hole in the CT.
