1. A method for diagnosing a fault in an electrical component using a diagnostic system having at least three stationary sensors, the method comprising:

  • positioning the electrical component in a predetermined position adjacent the diagnostic system and at a predetermined orientation with respect to the diagnostic system;

    causing a predetermined level of electrical current to flow to the electrical component;

    the stationary sensors sensing electrical discharge emitted by the electrical component at an area of the fault;

    the tangible computerized controller receiving sensor data from the stationary sensors; and

    the tangible computerized controller executing the computer-readable instructions to process the sensor data to generate test information including a location of the electrical component at which the fault is occurring in at least two dimensions.
