At that current there will be a reasonable magnetic field around the wire.
How about a "clip on" type ferrite with embedded hall effect sensor?  This
won't cause any additional voltage drop and therefore extra power
dissipation, and it is automatically DC isolated so you don't have to worry
about what voltage it is floating at.
