What is a "run-a-way" temperature?

When the controller fails and the heating cable remains energized the pipe will increase in temperature to an equilibrium temperature. This is called “run-a-away” temperature. For stabilized designs in hazardous areas, the condition is used to determine the maximum heating cable sheath temperature.
