← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an active heave compensation system overcorrects?
A)Actuator saturation impedes control✓
B)Pump cavitation exceeds safe limits
C)Accumulator bladder ruptures suddenly
D)Servo valve hysteresis becomes erratic
💡 Explanation
Actuator saturation results because the controller output exceeds its maximum range, preventing the actuator from reaching the desired position; therefore, control is lost, rather than cavitation or accumulator rupture which require different failure modes of hydraulic accumulators due to external forces.
