I am trying to design a flushing system using a water pump rated at 10A running on a 12V battery (92Ah).
I have a current sensor which measures the current draw. The idea is once a partial blockage is detected, force the motor pump to operate with more power for a few seconds to flush out the blockage.
The pump is usually used for draining waste water, and when it is not blocked, it draws around 5A. Once a partial blockage is detected, the pump will draw around 6A, I want to increase the amperage to 8-9A to give it a sudden influx of power in attempt to flush out the blockage. I want to implement some circuit on the PCB shown below which can force the pump to draw more current.
Is it possible to force the motor to draw more current? If so, what chip or IC should I use?
