In a hydraulic system driving intermittent high-load actuators, which outcome occurs when the accumulator's pre-charge pressure is excessively low?

💡 Explanation

Actuator starvation will occur because an excessively low accumulator pre-charge reduces the amount of stored hydraulic fluid available for supplying high-demand events; therefore the actuators are fluid-starved, rather than experiencing other system-wide thermal or chemical effects.
