In order to comply with the relevant re safety regulations (ie. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of re,

that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not occur before evacuation of the building is
complete. Suitable measures include: -

a) use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example

constructed from ceramic materials;

b) use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation;
c) use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.
