1. A computerized method of detecting hazardous electrical discharge activity patterns in electrical wiring, the method comprising:
sensing, by one or more sensor devices coupled to a circuit, a multiple voltage cycle waveform generated by electrical activity on the circuit;
detecting, by a computing device, a pattern of electrical discharge activity occurring in the multiple voltage cycle waveform based upon transient characteristics of the waveform in each of a plurality of cycles;
recognizing, by the computing device, the pattern of electrical discharge activity as a hazard event;
identifying, by the computing device, one or more conditions related to the pattern of electrical discharge activity; and
generating, by the computing device, one or more alert messages based upon the pattern of electrical discharge activity and the identified conditions.
