Which risk increases when a centrifugal pump operates far from its best efficiency point?

💡 Explanation

Operating far from the best efficiency point leads to increased hydraulic losses which generate turbulence and cause the **formation of vapor bubbles (cavitation)** within the impeller. Therefore, erosion increases, rather than the described electrical or lubrication failures which occur from unrelated operational stressors.
