Which damaging outcome results when an industrial robotic arm actuator experiences thermal runaway?

💡 Explanation

Unanticipated rapid joint movement results from thermal runaway activating the actuator, because the **positive temperature coefficient** increases current flow uncontrollably, therefore creating unexpected acceleration, rather than just load reduction at rated speeds.
