Which increased risk arises when exceeding a centrifugal pump's reliable operating flow?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding reliable flow creates turbulent flow leading to cavitation erosion of impeller blades because increased fluid velocities promote localized collapsing vapor bubbles; therefore impeller erosion is the outcome, rather than motor overheating which results from overload.
