Can anyone explain how a Linear Current Booster works? I am trying to determine if I have a bad unit (in a direct PV install for a water pump), and don't really understand what it does.
Does this help?

Maybe... I'm working with a 12V DC motor that is not quite doing the work it is supposed to do. Direct PV from a 210w 12v 11amp panel or 12v/~11amp from the eu2000i gennie is not quite turning a pump motor rotor with a considerable, but in spec, load on it. Note quite turning... almost turning... does 90% of the rotor stroke but won't do the top 10%. I can manually assist the last 10%.
So as I read this, a LCB produces more torque, by controlling the motor at a lower speed, which is, I think, what I need?
Fuses are not blowing on the motor circuit so I don't think I am at its maximum capacity.
If you read what I posted you know as much as I do, but have more field experience with a recalcitrant pump. :D
