VM-3P75CT ct rating

Hi, I have a 3x250A main connection. Can I use the VM-3P75CT with ct's with a higher rating? E.g. current ratio 250:5?

Idoes is correct. The CTs that come with the VM-3P75CT cannot be changed. Victron calibrates/ tunes them for the meter they are ship with. The larger CTs would overpower the meter. I would recommend looking at the EM530 from Carlo Gavazzi. I purchased my Energy meter with the 250-amp CTs included. The unit is working great. The EM530 is lots faster compared to the EM24 from Carlo Gavazzi.
