When a centrifugal pump operates far from its best efficiency point, which outcome becomes dominant because cavitation risk increases?

💡 Explanation

Operating away from the BEP increases recirculation because of internal flow disturbances creating low-pressure zones. This induces cavitation erosion of the impeller material rather than increasing efficiency. Therefore, impeller lifespan diminishes rather than motor load dramatically heightening or net pump output.
