Which outcome occurs when pressure transients exceed valve response time during emergency hydraulic actuator shutdown?

A)Water hammer causes pipe rupture
B)Cavitation damage accumulates rapidly
C)Actuator locks in current position
D)Oil starvation damages pump internals

💡 Explanation

Pressures fluctuate rapidly because the control system's servo valves cannot react instantly, causing cavitation. Vapour bubbles collapse violently, pitting the valve surfaces, therefore cavitation damage increases, rather than causing water hammer or immediate lock-up.
