Which risk increases if positive displacement pump flow rate exceeds the supply pipe capacity in a hydraulic system?

💡 Explanation

When the pump flow rate exceeds supply capacity, cavitation results because insufficient fluid reaches the pump inlet, causing localized boiling and bubble formation, leading to damaging implosions affecting components. Therefore cavitation damage is most likely, rather than reservoir heating, overpressure or filter limitations under normal flow rates.
