Which risk increases when digital control system phase margin in hydraulic actuator nears zero?

💡 Explanation

When phase margin approaches zero, the digital control system feedback loop experiences near-180-degree phase shift at or near the gain crossover frequency, leading to positive feedback and oscillatory instability. Therefore, oscillation occurs, rather than reduced output, increased settling time, or thermal runaway which involve different control loop characteristics.
