Detection of electric discharges that precede fires in electrical wiring

A system for detecting electrical discharges that precede electrical fires in electrical wiring, the system comprising:

• one or more sensor devices coupled to a circuit, each sensor device configured to
• detect one or more signal waveforms generated by electrical activity on the circuit;
• identify one or more transient signals within the one or more signal waveforms;
• and
• generate one or more transient characteristics based upon the identified transient signals;
• a server computing device communicably coupled to the one or more sensor devices, the server computing device configured to:
• receive the one or more transient characteristics from each sensor device;
• analyze the transient characteristics to identify one or more electrical discharge indications;
• and
• generate one or more alert signals when one or more electrical discharge indications are identified.
