In the event the circuit breaker was tripped, the outage report would identify the circuit involved, if this were not already known, and the downed wire report would help to locate the fault. If the HIF detector were used only for alarm, then the outage report and the downed conductor alarm would both aid in locating the fault. One additional consideration is that layman reports of downed wires often turn out to be a case of a downed telephone or CATV cable. An alarm from a HIF detector accompanied by a layman's report of a downed wire would serve to confirm that the wire was in fact a power conductor.
