Which effect occurs when excessive proportional gain is applied to a PID valve controller in a hydraulic system?

💡 Explanation

When excessive proportional gain amplifies small errors into large control signals, system instability through oscillations around setpoint occurs because the valve overshoots and undershoots rapidly. Therefore instability and valve oscillation result, rather than stiction, slower response or steady-state error which depend on different system characteristics.
