It seems to make more sense (no pun) to mount a small Hall sensor (Melexis - MLX91205HB) PCB flat on busbar.

The ring shaped sensor (HTFS-800p) with a connector and power conditioning circuit on a PCB sound like a lot more hardware than needed.

Yes, he would have to calibrate the height the hall sensor PCB on his busbar by shimming its height, but that still seams a lot easier.
